#SCOTUS has released its opinion in #Brackeen. A case that challenged a 40-yr-old law to prevent family separation in Native communities & threatened tribal sovereignty. In a victory for tribes, the Court upheld #ICWA.
✨TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO BE INDIGENOUS ✨
Today is a monumental victory for Indian Country as this decision reaffirms the inherent rights of Tribal Nations to be involved in the child welfare matters regarding their citizens.
The future is Indigenous!
