Native American Child Welfare

Veronica, 3, smiles in a bathroom of the Cherokee Nation Jack Brown Center in Tahlequah, Okla., on Aug. 6, 2013. A federal law that gives preference to Native American families in child-welfare proceedings involving Native children is facing a significant legal challenge. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the law didn’t apply in a South Carolina case involving Veronica because her Cherokee father was absent from part of her life.
