cherokee nation. or the knob he. nation because the relationship with these groups is sort of a nation to nation treaty s hourly ship. you talk about the arguments being made here. let s discuss. that the state of texas and several families who are adopting north of the top that canadian children are challenging icwa because they say they must win unconstitutional racial preference. and that the federal law impinges on state autonomy in that area. what is your take on that? they are making two big arguments which is one that the nominated foster parents are just being discriminated against. the irony is that actually for the most part the plaintiffs actually won custody of these native children. when the children also have blood relatives that wanted to raise them. when i investigated what actually happened in the custody cases, i think it actually showed how biased the child welfare system is against the native families. only one native grandmother was able to adopt her grandbaby.
