Dear NICWA Members, Donors, and Friends,

A Message for Our Community

Child well-being and cultural strength has always been the driver of our work, from our responsive, community-based programmatic efforts, to our specialized network of training participants, to our sovereignty-grounded advocacy in policy and practice. A positive cultural identity, bonds with extended family and tribal elders, and spiritual strength are key to creating the conditions under which Native children, youth, and families thrive. As I reflect on 2019, I am especially reminded of this fact.

Our work applies traditional teachings and practices in a contemporary context, relying on community members as vital contributors to effective, culturally competent services that meet the needs of children and families. In the 2019 fiscal year, we took the time to explicitly articulate our programmatic theory of change, which illustrates the way we work with stakeholders in tribal communities on tribal lands and in urban areas to prevent child abuse and neglect by strengthening families, communities, tribal governments, and the laws that protect them. Using the Relational Worldview model (See model on page 2), we focus on community or organizational environment, infrastructure, resources, and mission to achieve systems change at the community level. NICWA’s philosophy is that no solution developed and imposed from outside the community can ever effectively deal with the social and economic problems brought about by colonization. We believe in and facilitate locally developed and owned solutions.

Our work in partnership with communities is made even more urgent by the repeated attacks on the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)and tribal sovereignty. This year marked a considerable investment in expanding and diversifying our relationships through the Protect ICWA Campaign. As a Campaign, we work to inform policy, legal, and communications strategies with the mission to uphold and protect ICWA. At major milestones in ongoing litigation, we informed and mobilized Indian Country and our allies to ensure the protections of ICWA stand.

These are only a few examples of the year’s accomplishments. As this annual report illustrates, NICWA’s work with tribes, partners, and allies is comprehensive and interconnected. We know that a major indicator of the strength of an organization is its capacity to collaborate. This report captures just a portion of all that we have been able to accomplish with those who believe in the value of doing just that: collaborating. With your support and encouragement, we know that NICWA can continue to grow and help create a world where every Native child has access to community-based, culturally appropriate services that help them grow up safe, healthy, and spiritually strong.

With gratitude,Sarah Kastelic, PhD, MSW (Alutiiq) Executive Director

37th Annual Protecting Our Children Conference: Our Families, Our Future: Celebrating 40 Years of the Indian Child Welfare Act

Since 1987, NICWA has served tens of thousands of people advocating for the safety, health, and spiritual strength of Native children.

Each year, representatives from tribal and state child welfare departments, community members, governments, and organizations gather together for the premiere conference in Indian child welfare in the nation: the Annual Protecting Our Children National American Indian Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect.

Set at the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, NICWA’s 37th Annual Protecting Our Children Conference took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, home to 23 tribes and a rich cultural landscape. The conference broke records, making it the highest attended NICWA conference in history and providing workshops to highlight best practices, collaborative and innovative programming, skill-building resources, cutting-edge research, and essential prevention efforts.

Conference is a space for respite and reunions between new and old friends and families. It is an embodiment of the traditional cultural belief that nurturing networks of care providers foster safety and well-being for children and youth in Native communities.

Inspiring keynote presenters and panelists spoke on strategies for protecting the Indian Child Welfare Act and ways to strengthen its implementation. Local tribal government leaders welcomed us to New Mexico and talked about their experience with ICWA. Cultural performers from both the Zia and Pojoaque Pueblos shared their stories and culture. Through workshops, general sessions, and evening events, the conference created a community where participants shared their experience, learned from one another, and walked away with valuable resources to advocate for the next generation of Native children and youth. We hope to see even more child advocates at our 2020 Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado, on March 29–April 1.
