Indian Child Welfare

The Caddo Nation now has a fully operating Social Services and ICW program.


What is the Indian Child Welfare Act? The National Indian Child Welfare Association has this legislation available on-line as a PDF file. If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can read this legislation by clicking on the following link: Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-608). If you need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader, click here to download the free software. Otherwise, this legislation is available here in html format. 


The goal of Caddo Nation ICW is to protect the best interests of Native American children and to promote the stability and security of tribal families. This program works with Caddo Nation families along with the States or BIA Court to advocate for our children and families.  ICW also works with families who have children placed in out of home care.


Child Welfare Services also provides: 

  • Court advocacy, reunification and treatment plans 
  • Referrals for recommended assessments and services
  • Child development education
  • Assistance with CDIB enrollment
  • Assistance with tribal citizenship enrollment
  • Case management services
  • Court advocacy specific to deprived court cases
  • Access to court documentation as necessary 


Eligibility

  • Child must be enrolled or eligible for enrolment in the Caddo Nation Tribe.
  • Child(ren) removed or at risk of removal from the home and/or parents
