Request Support

While NICWA cannot provide legal advice or case management on individual cases, we offer resources and compassionate support to help callers during challenging times.

Every year, the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) receives over 1,000 inquiries from individuals seeking assistance, often from families navigating the child welfare system with questions about the Indian Child Welfare Act or their rights. Some people seek assistance tracing their Native ancestry or finding affordable legal representation. Many are unsure about who within their tribal nation can assist them in navigating complex legal and human service systems.

If you still have questions regarding an ICWA case or other child welfare issues after reviewing our resources, you may contact us at info@nicwa.org or at (503) 222-4044. Please note, we do not respond to social media inquiries due to their public nature.
