Chairman Charles Martin of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians speaks on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court on November 9, 2022.

Martin 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.

The Morongo Band, based in California, is one of the tribes involved in the litigation, known as Haaland v. Brackeen.
