*prepared pursuant to two contracts: HHS to University of NM and University of NM to the UNM American Indian Law Center; *state clearly trumps the tribe in all these procedures ("shall's" benefit State and "may's" plus softer words describe tribe's rights; *consideration of preference of child vague since no "sufficient age" of participation given; *long-term foster care considered better than termination of parental rights so child does not "lose cultural identity"; *Fed $$ for ICWA goes from State directly to ICWA families; *allows State to review all independent adoptions for tribal children and oppose them in court |
