What is the purpose of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)?

  1. Serve as a judiciary guideline for all children

  2. Protect Native American children under federal law

  3. Regulate all child welfare cases

  4. Oversee international child welfare cases

The correct answer is: Protect Native American children under federal law

The purpose of the Indian Child Welfare Act is to protect Native American children under federal law. It was enacted in 1978 in response to the large number of Native American children being removed from their homes by state child welfare agencies and placed in non-Native homes for adoption or foster care. The other options, A, C, and D are not correct because they do not accurately describe the purpose of the ICWA. This law specifically focuses on the protection and preservation of Native American culture and family relationships for Native American children. This ensures that their dignity, tribal integrity, and cultural identity are maintained.
