@nativerights.bsky.socialTo be clear: the Indian Child Welfare Act is grounded in Tribal sovereignty, not race. Tribes are sovereign nations, and the U.S. must respect their authority to protect their children. For decades, ICWA has protected Native children against unnecessary removal from their families and communities.

@nativerights.bsky.socialLong before the U.S. court system, Tribal Nations used peacemaking to resolve conflict, address harm, and restore relationships.
Rather than focusing on winners and losers, peacemaking brings people together to listen, take responsibility, and find a path forward. buff.ly/FwfZxqI
