I rise in support of the Young amendment to strike title III. Congress, in a long line of case law, provides Native American tribes with sovereign control of their affairs, and that includes the care and protection of their children. It is the tribes themselves who can best determine when children are native American and when the protections of the Indian Child Welfare Act apply. Tragic adoption cases are far more common in non-Indian settings, but the solution is not to reverse a long line of precedent. Keep Indian families together, support the Young amendment to strike.
