On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Haaland v. Brackeen, which could strike down the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).

The ICWA was intended to prevent Native children from being separated from their tribes and families. It was enacted in 1978 in response to US Government practices that forcibly removed hundreds of thousands of Native children from their homes.

We speak with Rebecca Nagle, a freelance writer and member of the Cherokee Nation, about what this new challenge in the Supreme Court could mean for ICWA and the SCOTUS precedents it could overrule.
