Cheap summer thrills for SLC kids

ICWA Remains

The U.S. Supreme Court preserved ICWA, the 1978 Indian Children Welfare Act that prioritizes keeping Native children with Native families. It was being challenged by a number of Republican-led states. The law was originally enacted due to the alarming rate that Native children were being ripped from their homes, and overturning it would have been a blow to the sovereignty of Utah tribes. [FOX 13]
