Indian children law signed 30 years ago
30 years ago Wisconsin signed a law in which Indian children who needed put in foster care that they would give the indians jurisdiction over their kids .
In other words if their was another Indian couple who wanted to run foster care they could . Children would be placed with other indian families over white or non white foster families if they were available and they are now looking at ways to implement this . Why did this take so long?
At this time they wanted the native american courts to decide who had custody of the children .

Indian Children In trouble
Native american children who get into trouble are sometimes taken out of their culture and put into non native families to be raised . This is wrong to some degree that are not able to keep their culture alive without meeting and knowing their family .
They need to be exposed to their people and be taught to be proud of their people . If you are a foster parent or know a foster or adoptive parent raising a native american you should encourage them to get into touch with various Indian organizations within their community .These people can get the kids envolved in the native american movement and tell them about wounded knee .
They need to learn how the indians lived off of the land and hunted animals for food and clothing .
They need to have friends if they can find them to play with that are native americans .
We do not want to lose the culture of the native americans because kids or theri parents get into problems because of alcohol or stealing or drugs . .
