The document summarizes key findings from a study that analyzed over 100 tribal child welfare codes. Some of the main findings include:
- Nearly half of the 107 codes reviewed were amended after 2000, indicating tribes are increasingly asserting their sovereignty over child welfare.
- Tribal codes address jurisdiction, tribal-state relationships, reporting abuse, and paternity. Most codes include statements asserting jurisdiction over tribal members and some also include non-member Native children.
- Many codes have processes for transferring child welfare cases from state to tribal courts and for responding to notices of cases that may be covered by the Indian Child Welfare Act.
- Common methods for establishing paternity include acknowledgment or presumption based on marriage or living with the child

Today, this role is especially relevant with the increasing immigrant population in addition to increasing uncertainty regarding the new administration’s policies on immigration.
