Minn. Juve. Prot. P. 28.01
As amended through October 28, 2024
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), 25 U.S.C. §§ 1901-1963, establishes minimum federal standards for the removal of Indian children from their families and the placement of Indian children in foster or adoptive homes. The Minnesota Indian Family Preservation Act (MIFPA), Minn. Stat. §§ 260.751 -.835, provides state standards to protect the long-term best interests of Indian children, their families, and the child's tribe. This section of these rules provides procedures for the application of ICWA and MIFPA in juvenile protection matters concerning an Indian child.
