  • Title: Culture loss: American Indian family disruption, urbanization, and the Indian Child Welfare Act.
    Author: Halverson K, Puig ME, Byers SR.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 2002; 81(2):319-36. PubMed ID: 12014471.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the perceptions and views of urban American Indian parents regarding foster care and American Indian family issues. Findings highlight four themes: (1) discouragement from working with the current foster care system, (2) the role of culture in caregiving, (3) differing definitions of family and relatedness, and (4) the effects of historical pain due to past family disruption. These themes are used to formulate guidelines for the development of an American Indian foster care and child welfare program.
