U.S. Supreme Court’s ‘Baby Veronica’ decision applied in Alaska case

Native leaders say a Sept. 12th Alaska Supreme Court ruling in a case involving a Yup’ik child will cause higher numbers of Native children to be cut off from their families and culture. The state says the decision in Tununuk vs the state of Alaska will put kids into permanent homes more quickly, and follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
