November 16–19, 2020, join us as we celebrate the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) and its legacy of protecting Native children and supporting Native families.
In honor of ICWA’s 42nd anniversary and Native American Heritage Month, NICWA and our partners from the Protect ICWA Campaign, the National Congress of American Indians, the Association on American Indian Affairs, and the Native American Rights Fund, are launching the #ICWAForFamilies social media campaign to spread awareness about ICWA, its impact on American Indian and Alaska Native children and families, and the broad and diverse base of support for the Act.
Help spread awareness about ICWA by participating in our social media campaign from Monday, November 16, through Thursday, November 19.
