To accomplish our mission of “promoting and protecting the health safety and welfare of tribal children and families”, the work of California Tribal Families Coalition is organized in three primary areas: Legal, Policy and Training. Within the legal strategy and advocacy area, resources are focused (1) protecting and defending the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA); (2) engaging in impact litigation, which involves the Coalition engaging in litigation to advance and secure broad rights for tribes, tribal children and families; and (3) our Legal Counsel for Tribes Project (LC4T) that provides tribes legal representation in state court ICWA cases, with a goal of being there with Every tribe, Every child, Every case.
