Date: 2022-11-10

National Congress of American Indians President Fawn Sharp speaks outside of the U.S. Supreme Court on November 9, 2022.

Sharp addresses the legal challenge facing the Indian Child Welfare Act, which was enacted by the U.S. Congress to ensure Indian children stay connected to their tribes and their communities.

Non-Indian and conservative state government officials are asking the nation's highest court to strike down the law as unconstitutional.

Sharp serves as vice president of the Quinault Nation, one of the tribes involved in the litigation, known as Haaland v. Brackeen.
