Apr 18 National Indian Country Training Initiative Online Training Announcement
Given that the majority of Tribal youth reside outside of Indian country, any juvenile delinquency proceedings or criminal charges will likely involve state or local juvenile justice systems. The Indian Child Welfare Act does not require Tribal notification when a Tribal youth is involved in a state or local juvenile justice system. In this webinar, participants will learn more about the legal authority for and implementation of state Tribal notification systems. Faculty will include State and Tribal representatives who have implemented a notification system in their jurisdiction. This webinar is the first in a series titled Culture as Prevention. The training series is the result of a partnership between DOJ's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and the National Indian Country Training Initiative.
