T h e conference this year is
entitled, “Empowering Families
Through it Circle o f Tradition
and Culture.”
Mary M cNevins* D I JS In ­
dian Child Welfare A ct manager,
says the conference is a forum
to learn m ore abo u t N ative
American issues, and ah oppor­
tunity to build and strengthen
relationships between the state
and tribes.
. ^‘A child protection system
that embraces tribal values can
achieve better and lasting out­
comes for Indian children and
their families,” said McNevins.
“Protecting the safety, stabil­
ity and well-being o f our Indian
children is the key to the pres­
ervation and continued exist­
ence o f O regon’s tribes.” .
T h e co n feren ce began on
Wednesday o f this week, and
continues today, Thursday, Sept.
27, at Kah-N ee-Ta.
A t the conference, national
and local Indian child welfare
experts are providing education
and training on the importance
o f traditions, family connections
and child safety.
Participants also are receiving
training on the importance o f
the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Passed in 1978 by Congress,
ICWA protects the best interests
o f Indian children and p ro­
m otes the stability and security
o f Indian tribes and families.
I t also ensures that Indian
children will be placed in. foster
or adoptive homes that reflect
the unique values o f Indian cul­
ture.
Som e fast facts about chil­
dren who are tribal members:
Approximately 2 million In ­
dians belong to m ore than 550
fed erally reco g n iz ed In d ian
tribes nationwide, nine o f which
are in Oregon.
O f those tribal members; 33
percent are under the age o f .18,
compared with 26 percent o f
the total population.
In 2 0 0 4 ,1 0 ,3 9 8 Indian chil­
dren nationwide were victims o f
child m altreatm ent
In O regon, 12.4 percent o f
the m ore than 16,000 O regon
children in foster care last year
w ere Native A m erican, while
Native Americans account- for
just 1.3 percent o f the O regon
population 18 and younger.
A t any given time, 400 Indian
children are in O regon foster
care.
