Facilitating the ICWA Process

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has published a document to aid tribes in facilitating the ICWA process. The reference sheets provides a quick overview of how tribes can ensure the accurate implementation of ICWA. 

BIA Quick Reference Sheet for Tribes

North Dakota ICWA Inquiry/Case Status Form

Below are links to the ND ICWA Inquiry/Case Status Form and the detailed instructions. Please be sure to read the instructions in their entirety to ensure proper use. The North Dakota ICWA agents will provide an initial response to the ICWA Inquiry within 3 working days; however, official response via the ICWA Inquiry Response Form will only occur once Tribal affiliation has been determined by the appropriate Tribal authorities (Tribal Enrollment Offices). The ICWA Agents ask that case workers do not contact the ND BIA/Tribal Enrollment offices directly.

We hope these forms will aid in creating better communication between Tribes and Counties while meeting the needs of North Dakota children and families more efficiently.
