Welcome to the online edition of

"A Practical Guide to the

Indian Child Welfare Act"

The Guide is intended to answer questions and provide a comprehensive resource of information on the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). Those unfamiliar with ICWA are encouraged to first read the introduction to the Guide

While the topical sections are identical to the print version, the electronic copy has links to thousands of state and federal resources (cases, laws, etc.), updated through September 2011, not found in the print copy.
