ICWA Cases
When children are enrolled or are eligible for enrollment with the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) applies, Oneida ICW will intervene. There are Oneida tribal members living throughout the United States and Oneida will file to intervene in all ICWA cases.
This means that Oneida ICW will partner with the assigned county worker to support families through case management and court proceedings, and advocate for the best interests of Oneida children and their families.
Oneida Tribal Court Cases
When children are enrolled or are eligible for enrollment with the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and reside within the boundaries of Brown or Outagamie County, Oneida ICW partners with that county to conduct Initial Assessments. When children are found to be unsafe as a result of those assessments, and depending on the available resources or services, the case may be transferred to tribal court.
When cases are transferred to Oneida Tribal Court, Oneida ICW will be the primary department working with the family.
