Under the ICWA, tribes have exclusive jurisdiction over child welfare proceedings if the child lives on tribal land, is domiciled on tribal land or if the child is a ward of tribal court. If the child does not meet these criteria, the state court has jurisdiction over the case.
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) is federal legislation which establishes minimum federal standards for state court child welfare proceedings and many other child custody proceedings involving Indian children.
When ICWA applies, child welfare must take extra steps to keep Indian families together, to support Indian parents and to involve tribes. ICWA doesnt apply to custody actions between the childs parents, such as divorce, parentage, or changing (modifying) custody orders or parenting plans.
In fact, research found that 25%35% of all Native children were being removed; of these, 85% were placed outside of their families and communitieseven when fit and willing relatives were available. Congressional testimony documented the devastating impact this was having upon Native children, families, and tribes.
Then the court must determine if the child is in need of care (meaning, that the child is without proper care or supervision, or has been abused, or is truant, or other statutory reasons). If the court finds the child to be a CINC, the court has tremendous authority to make orders for the child and family.

When state and county agencies do separate children and families, ICWA holds them responsible for making active efforts toward reunification and prioritizes placements with kin or tribes.
