Special Edition: Native Bidaské with Samantha Skenandore (Ho-Chunk) on ICWA
Join Native News Online Publisher Levi Rickert and Staff Reporter Neely Bardwell as they interview Samantha Skenandore on ICWA.
The United State Supreme Court issued a ruling that protects tribal sovereignty and the rights of Native American families when it comes to adoption and foster-care proceedings involving Native children. The court’s opinion in the case Haaland v. Brackeen upheld the federal Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), a 1978 law that gives tribal governments exclusive jurisdiction over Native children who live on reservations.
Samantha Skenandore advises tribal and corporate clients on federal Indian law and tribal law. She handles tribal governance, corporate governance, governmental affairs, corporate transactions, real estate, labor issues and litigation.
