A Practical Guide to the Indian Child Welfare Act was developed and written by staff of the Native American Rights Fund, staff of the National Indian Law Library and a team of multi-disciplinary experts who have significant experience in dealing with the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The Practical Guide, available to the general public, is intended to facilitate compliance with the letter and spirit of ICWA and is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It is not legal advice. You should consult competent legal counsel for legal advice, rather than rely on the Practical Guide.
