Brackeen v. Haaland was full of complexities as demonstrated throughout the 133-page decision released on Thursday. In addition to the question of whether Congress had the authority to enact the ICWA, threaded throughout the case was the question of whether American Indians and Alaska Natives are considered a race or a political entity because tribes are sovereign nations.
The threat to taking the right of Native American families or tribes to decide what is best for their children was real.
Justice Neil Gorsuch, who has proven to be a defender of Indian law and sovereignty since joining the court, did not disappoint on Thursday. He joined with other justices in the 7-2 decision, and wrote a concurring opinion that defended ICWA strongly.
“The Indian Child Welfare Act did not emerge from a vacuum,” Gorsuch wrote. “It came as a direct response to the mass removal of Indian children from their families during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s by state officials and private parties. That practice, in turn, was only the latest iteration of a much older policy of removing Indian children from their families—one initially spearheaded by federal officials with the aid of their state counterparts nearly 150 years ago. In all its many forms, the dissolution of the Indian family has had devastating effects on children and parents alike. It has also presented an existential threat to the continued vitality of Tribes—something many federal and state officials over the years saw as a feature, not as a flaw. This is the story of ICWA. And with this story, it pays to start at the beginning.”
