The U.S. Supreme Court earlier this month heard arguments in a case challenging the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act, or ICWA.
The law sets standards for removing Native American children from their homes, but the challengers in this case — several Texas families looking to adopt Native American children — say the law is essentially a racial preference, which is unconstitutional.
Robert Miller says how the justices rule could have major impacts on Indian law beyond ICWA.
Miller is a professor at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.
