Beyond Brackeen: Ongoing Protections for Indian Children

November 4th, 2021 | 2:15pm-3:30pm ET | 1.25 CLE

Although the 5th Circuit decision in Brackeen v. Haaland has consumed the ICWA conversation for the last few years, the decision has limited impact. This panel will focus on continuing protections for Indian children. Panelists will discuss other legal methods to protect Indian children, such as state Indian child welfare legislation, and amendments to the federal ICWA.

Speakers include:

April Olson: Attorney, Rothstein Donatelli LLP

Kate Fort: Director of Clinics, Michigan State University College of Law

Austin Moore: Attorney, Native American Disability Law Center

Moderator – Cassondra Church: Legal Counselor, Indigenous Law & Policy Center, Michigan State University College of Law
