CONFERENCE OF TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
SESSION III
RESOLUTION #3-51579
Indian Child Welfare Act
PREAMBLE: Indian Tribes throughout the State of Washington actively
supported the Indian Child Welfare Act, P.L. 95-608, passed in 1978 on
November 7 by Congress. It has been the intent and desire of many to have
jurisdiction over the destiny of their children and families.
WHEREAS; The Bureau of Indian Affairs was directed by Congress to
prepare the regulations for the implementation of the Indian
Child Welfare Act; and
WHEREAS; Those regulations were not initiated by the Bureau of Indian
Affairs until January of 1979, causing concern and distress
by Tribes who feared that the regulations would not reflect
the needs of Indian Tribes; and
WHEREAS; The Bureau of Indian Affairs published the regulations allowing
limited if any input in the development of those regulations,
even after Washington State Indian Tribes attended and
testified at a public hearing in the Seattle area;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Bureau of Indian Affairs is hereby
requested by the delegates to Session III of the Conference
of Tribal Governments to work towards revising the proposed
regulations on which comments are due by 5-23-75 to better
meet the needs and desires of Indian Tribes, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Bureau of Indian Affairs should request
fair and equitable appropriations so that each and every
Indian Tribe be allowed to contract for those services author-
ized in the Act to meet their needs, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the State of Washington actively initiate
communications with Indian Tribes of the State of Washington to
come to agreements regarding the Federal regulations and
Washington Administration Codes relating to the care and
jurisdiction of all Indian children and their families living
on or off the reservation.
Introduced by Mary Jo Butterfield, Makah, Human Resources Committee. Date: 5-
15-79, Adopted: 5-15-79.
