Children, tribes, and states :

"Children, Tribes, and States explores child welfare, adoption, and custody conflicts involving American Indian children with a particular focus on jurisdictional and placement disputes between states and tribes. Atwood examines the policies driving the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 against the backdrop of current ICWA controversies in state courts. In addition, she explores tribal-state competition in inter-parental custody disputes, a contentious arena that falls outside the purview of ICWA. Through her analysis and critique, Atwood seeks to promote the well-being of children while also respecting contemporary understandings of tribal sovereignty and cultural identity." - Provided by publisher
