SUMMARY:NICWA Trainings: Understanding the Indian Child Welfare Act or Positive Indian Parenting
DESCRIPTION:Both NICWA trainings are being held on September 16-19 in Portland\, Oregon. Visit the training website to register for one of the classes. \nUnderstanding the Indian Child Welfare Act – $550.00\n\n\n\nThis three-day training provides participants with information about the basic legal requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) and the practice issues involved with ICWA’s implementation. A brief history of U.S. Indian policy as it relates to Indian children and families sets the stage for an examination of the specific provisions of ICWA and practice tips for both Tribal and state social workers. Participants will also learn how to successfully integrate other federal and state policies with ICWA—such as the Adoption and Safe Families Act—and support developing tribal and state agreements and other systems changes. This training includes information about the recent Bureau of Indian Affairs ICWA regulations and guidelines. \nPositive Indian Parenting – $625.00 \nTheir most popular training\, Positive Indian Parenting (PIP) prepares Tribal and non-Tribal child welfare personnel to train American Indian and Alaska Native parents using a culturally specific approach. The materials presented during this training draw on the strengths of historic Indian child-rearing practices and blend traditional values with contemporary skills. Storytelling\, cradleboards\, harmony\, lessons of nature\, behavior management\, and the use of praise are discussed.

SUMMARY:Tribal Consultation on Comprehensive Implementation of EOs

The purpose of this consultation will be to receive meaningful input from American Indian\, Alaska Native\, and Native Hawaiian communities to ensure that Tribal leaders’ views inform how the Department can comprehensively implement both the President’s orders while upholding federal trust and Treaty obligations. The Department remains committed to upholding the federal trust responsibility as set forth in the Constitution of the United States\, treaties\, executive orders\, and court decisions. This consultation will be conducted by the Office of Indian Education (OIE) and facilitated by the Tribal Consultation Official for the Department. \nBackground\nIn general\, an Executive Order is not intended to\, and does not\, create any right or benefit\, substantive or procedural\, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States\, its departments\, agencies\, or entities\, its officers\, employees\, or agents\, or any other person. The purpose of this consultation is to receive input from Tribal leaders on helping the Department identify flexibilities where possible under existing law (this includes Treaty obligations) to improve educational outcomes\, address specific needs of American Indian\, Alaska Native\, and Native Hawaiian communities\, and reduce duplicative functions across government to ensure Tribes are better served. \nThe following resources below can be used to help Tribal leaders prepare for the upcoming consultation: \n\nEO 14191: Expanding Educational Freedom and Opportunity for Families (February 3\, 2025)\nEO 14279: Reforming Accreditation To Strengthen Higher Education (April 28\, 2025)\nEO 14242: Empowering Parents\, States\, and Communities (March 20\, 2025)\nEO 14277: Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth (April 28\, 2025)\n\nAdditional Executive Orders are available on the National Archives’ Federal Register Executive Order Index website. \nPlease follow the registration link to participate in the consultation. To maintain online security\, each attendee must register individually\, and registration cannot be transferred to or used by others. Once you have completed registration\, an individualized access link for the session will be sent to you with additional information. \nWritten Comment Period\nWritten public comments for a topic will only be collected through the TribalConsultation@ed.gov email address. The comment period is now open and will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on 10/24/2025. \nAn Indian Tribe may designate information provided during the consultation as “sensitive” and request non-disclosure of the information to the public. Certain federal laws\, including the Freedom of Information Act\, may require disclosure of information designated sensitive by a Tribal government. Questions about this notice can be sent to TribalConsultation@ed.gov. This consultation is a closed press event. \nConsultation Questions\nThe Department invites Tribal Leaders to provide input on the following questions\, please refer to the EO number when providing comments. \n\nHow can the Department use its efforts to design\, revise\, provide waivers for\, and otherwise administer Federal funding and support programs for American Indian\, Alaska Native\, and Native Hawaiian communities\, to minimize burdens?\nWhat general comments do you have regarding the Department’s implementation of an Executive Order?\nWhat budgetary\, statutory\, regulatory\, or other changes do you recommend for the Department to take steps toward upholding the U.S. Government’s Treaty obligations and Trust responsibilities?\nHow can the Department best understand unmet Treaty obligations and work to address such obligations with others in the Federal government?\nAre there any specific accommodations that the Department should consider when addressing barriers that Tribal Nations face when applying for grants?\n\nThank you in advance for your input and participation – we look forward to visiting and consulting with Indian Tribes\, Alaska Native Villages\, and Native Hawaiian Organizations and their leadership to empower high-quality education for all students.
