#ProtectICWA

The Protect ICWA Campaign was established by the National Indian Child Welfare Association, the National Congress of American Indians, the Association on American Indian Affairs, and the Native American Rights Fund. Together, we work to serve and support Native children, youth, and families through upholding ICWA. The Campaign works to inform policy, legal, and communications strategies with the mission to uphold and protect ICWA - against the Goldwater Institute and others that seek to overturn ICWA and keeping Indian children and families together.

The Boarding School Era in the United States

As described in detail by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS, 2021), the federal policies that launched, grew, and sustained the Indian boarding school movement began with the Indian Civilization Fund Act (1819) and the Peace Policy (1869). According to Volume 1 of the Federal Boarding School Initiative Investigative Report produced by the U.S. Department of the Interior in May 2022, 408 federal schools in 37 states and territories operated in the United States between 1819 – 1969.
