American Indian children and a government door ICWA and Tribal consultation are not diversity modules.
What you’ll be able to do Identify the practical implication of “American Indian children and a government door” and apply it to one live DHS decision connected to How It Shows Up in Minnesota Human Services. Compare the responses to this question and explain your choice: What should happen before the work is locked? Document a next step for American Indian children and a government door: Choose one live work object, name a change or formal escalation, assign an owner, and set the date the result will be reviewed. Minnesota’s Native overrepresentation is extreme. The response that is already law is government-to-government, not a cultural-competence slide.
Do not dump this into race-as-culture Curriculum I (intercultural) is a map of how people orient to difference. ICWA is a statute about nations and children. Consultation is a government door.

Do this / not this Do — ask whether ICWA or consultation applies Before the lock. Not after the press call.
