Cherokee Nation Asking Supreme Court to Review Indian Child Welfare Act Case


The Cherokee Nation and one of its members are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling last April that the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) did not apply to what a three-judge panel termed “temporary” tribal citizenship conferred solely for ICWA purposes.
