Bureau of Indian Affairs Child Welfare Programs

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Child Welfare Programs aim to protect and support Native American children and families. They provide services to promote safe, stable, and healthy environments, including foster care, family reunification, and prevention efforts. These programs respect tribal sovereignty, working in partnership with tribal nations to ensure culturally appropriate care. The goal is to preserve Native cultural identity while ensuring children's safety and well-being, addressing issues like neglect and abuse through coordinated federal and tribal efforts.
