Vision and Mission
Statement
NICWA works to support the safety, health, and spiritual strength of Native children along the broad
continuum of their lives. We promote building tribal capacity to prevent child abuse and neglect
through positive systems change at the state, federal, and tribal level.
Our Vision Every Indian child must have access to community-based, culturally appropriate
services that help them grow up safe, healthy, and spiritually strong—free from
abuse, neglect, sexual exploitation, and the damaging effects of substance abuse.
Our Mission NICWA is dedicated to the well-being of American Indian and Alaska Native
children and families.

Letter from Terry Cross
Letter from Terry Cross, NICWA Executive Director
Each year at this time, I appreciate the opportunity the NICWA annual report provides me to engage with you. It
allows me the occasion to reach out to our members and supporters and describe the year’s journey. By sharing the
highlights and the challenges, I can explain how your investment has helped us continue on our very important
mission. I can spend time reflecting upon the year passed, and the year to come.
Reflection.
Perhaps more than any other year until now, I value the chance to reflect upon NICWA’s work. I am in my final year as
executive director of this organization that I helped found. So, for me, reflecting upon this year’s accomplishments has
taken on a great significance. I reflect upon where we were decades ago, when a few determined social workers, elders,
and tribal leaders decided to start NICWA—what we hoped to accomplish, where we felt we could help the most.
Then I look to what we have done in this past year, and it is apparent to me that our work has far exceeded the wildest
expectations we had way back at the beginning.
For example, last year, our annual conference not only broke attendance records as more and more people from diverse
fields recognize the quality of dialogue, networking, and support it provides, but key policymakers, institutions, and
organizations participated as well. Partners such as the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the U.S. Department of Justice, the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, and others now see our gathering as a space where critical discussions are held and decisions
are made. They see our constituents as key stakeholders in the work they do.
Our advocacy work continues to break new ground. In those early years, we were in an environment with no
infrastructure to address the issues, failing court systems and law enforcement, and lack of programs to support
families. Now, every tribe in the nation has some type of child welfare services. Today, there are tribal laws addressing
abuse and neglect in every tribe. Policymakers are slowly beginning to address the substantial needs of Indian
Country. To that end, I am proud to report that last year NICWA submitted 27 separate pieces of testimony on federal
legislation. Our input is solicited continuously, and our recommendations are often followed. In 2013–2014, we saw
over $16.4 million dollars of new federal funding become available to tribal communities from legislation for which we
advocated.
2
Sometimes, our growth as an organization becomes most apparent during the most trying times. Such was
the case in mid-2013, when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in the Adoptive Couple v.
Baby Girl case. In the aftermath of this devastating decision, countless tribal communities, individuals,
and organizations came to us seeking leadership, asking us, “What do we do now?”
At first, we joined them in prayer and sorrow, creating a National Day of Prayer for Native Children that
linked 15 Native communities together to pray for the Brown family, and all of our children. Then, we
pushed up our sleeves and returned to work. We redoubled our efforts to educate Indian Country, states,
federal policymakers, and the media about the decision. We provided webinars, keynote addresses, oneon-one technical assistance, and numerous conference calls to share our report analyzing the decision, and
teaching tribes exactly what steps to take to lessen the negative impact upon their communities.
These are but a few of the year’s accomplishments. Our report is arranged by our focus areas: child
maltreatment and ICWA, foster care and adoption, children’s mental health, and youth engagement and
juvenile justice, with additional discussion of other areas of work.
Now, as I prepare to enter my final months as executive director, I am of two minds. I am filled with
gratitude that NICWA has been blessed with the successes it has had and that the hopes and dreams
of those who gave so much to getting us off the ground have been more than realized. Secondly, I am
humbled by how much there is yet to do. If there is one thing that I have learned in my 31 years of service
to NICWA, it is that we cannot rest. Unfortunately, we live in a world that feels entitled to take our
children, that perpetuates inequities such as lack of access to funding or due process. Just as those who
came before us, we must be vigilant, steadfast, and vocal.
I have 100% confidence that NICWA will continue to be the leading voice for American Indian and Alaska
Native children under the leadership of Sarah Kastelic, who will take over in my place come January 1,
2015. I will continue to support the cause by writing, speaking, and supporting NICWA in its mission. I
would ask everyone to do the same. Now, more than ever we must draw together to “Protect Our Children
and Preserve Our Culture.”
Sincerely,
Terry Cross
Executive Director

Child Maltreatment
Preventing and addressing child maltreatment remains at the core of NICWA’s mission and priorities. In 2013–2014, NICWA
was at the forefront of national dialogue. As a recognized national leader, NICWA responded to multiple requests from
policymakers, peer organizations, and tribal child welfare systems to weigh in on issues facing our communities. We are proud
to list our accomplishments:
• NICWA was invited by the U.S. Department of Justice Task Force on American Indian and Alaska Native Children
Exposed to Violence to present testimony at three of the four hearings they held. Our testimony will inform the final
report and the recommendations the task force will issue to the U.S. Attorney General.
• By delivering testimony on numerous child welfare bills in the U.S. Congress and providing expert counsel to the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary’s Tribal Advisory Committee and the Administration for
Children and Families Tribal Advisory Committee, NICWA directly educated policymakers on the needs and policies
that make sense for our members and communities.
• We created a values-driven guide to child welfare finance reform in tribal communities and launched the educational
campaign that will bring much-needed funding into Indian Country.
• With the National Congress of American Indians, National Indian Education Association, and National Indian Health
Board as partners, NICWA formally revived the Native Children’s Agenda— a collaborative endeavor that focuses on
changing national, state, and tribal policy to create conditions in which Native children can thrive.
• NICWA successfully concluded its work fostering the implementation of expanded in-home services and
strengthened tribal-state partnerships through collaboration with the Western Pacific and Child Welfare
Implementation Center.
ICWA
The Indian Child Welfare Act was passed in 1978 in response to the alarmingly high number of Indian children
being removed from their homes by both public and private agencies. Despite the many protections this federal
law is intended to provide, NICWA continues to advocate for full compliance with this groundbreaking legislation.
Recently, this work included advocacy on several fronts:
• Educating tribal and state leadership, attorneys, and service providers on the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court
decision, Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl. We delivered guides, webinars, and countless presentations to explain the
decision and directly laid out the exact steps tribes and states can take to minimize the negative impact of the decision.
• Informing the international community of the human rights violations AI/AN children (specifically Veronica Brown)
face in the United States. This resulted in a formal announcement by the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Rights of
Indigenous Children James Anaya to the international media calling for an investigation, and a direct letter to the U.S.
State Department.
• Working closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs on a series of hearings to inform revision of the Guidelines for State
Courts-Indian Child Custody Proceedings for the first time since 1979. Updates will improve ICWA compliance
nationwide.
• Making a formal request to the U.S. Department of Justice for an investigation into the civil rights violations states and
private adoption agencies systematically perpetrate against AI/AN families. A formal investigation would highlight
the widespread violation of ICWA and give advocates like NICWA momentum to urge Congress to assign reporting
and enforcement to a federal agency, creating accountability where it now does not exist.
4
Foster Care and Adoption
NICWA’s supporters are familiar with shocking statistics that illustrate how AI/AN children are disproportionately
represented in the foster care system. As a result, we continuously strive to address the systemic problems that
contribute to racial disproportionality in foster care, inform legislation that will result in tangible improvements, and
work toward growing tribal capacity to manage their own programs and services. Last year, this work included:
• Providing training to numerous tribes and tribal child welfare workers on Title IV-E of the Fostering
Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act. Title IV-E funds placement activities related to foster
care, relative guardianship, adoption, and independent living services. NICWA not only helps tribal child
welfare programs evaluate whether pursuing IV-E funds makes sense for their communities, but we also have
strongly advocated for funding and policies to strengthen IV-E.
• Assisting the Council on Accreditation with developing foster care and kinship care standards used to accredit
public and private agencies that address the unique needs of AI/AN children.
• Launching the Bringing Our Children Home Safely Initiative with support from the Spirit Mountain
Community Fund. The initiative brings together the many Multnomah County agencies involved in serving
Native children in foster care to identify and address the issues that contribute to their disproportionate
representation.
• Continuing to solicit support for the Adoption Tax Credit Tribal Parity Act, which would amend the Internal
Revenue Code to allow Indian tribes to make the determination that a child is a child with special needs for
purposes of the adoption tax credit.
Children’s Mental Health
Through the systems of care grants program, tribal communities are developing
and improving children’s mental health services. NICWA has long been a partner
with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to:
• Provide technical assistance to 16 reservation and urban communities
that service the mental health needs of children and youth, including
hosting monthly calls, regular webinars, and site visits.
• Publish quarterly newsletters and fact sheets on best practices in the
field.
• Provide extensive budget testimony on tribal child welfare and children’s
mental health program needs to NCAI, Congress, DHHS, and the BIA.
5
Youth Engagement and Juvenile Justice
As children age into adolescence, their need for support
remains consistent. NICWA addresses these needs
by proactively spearheading youth empowerment
programming. We also work to address systemic
challenges for youth who become a part of the juvenile
justice system. In a deliberate way, these initiatives
are two side of the same coin. Each is intended to
improve outcomes for our children by building on their
internal strengths, while also addressing the systemic
environment which they must navigate.
NICWA fostered urban-reservation networks and
empowered youth to advocate for themselves in policy
and other arenas. Youth from the Umatilla Reservation
traveled to Portland, Oregon, as part of the youth
exchange launched the previous year. In partnership with
the Native American Youth and Family Resource Center
and the City of Portland, Native youth were introduced
to the work of grassroots social justice advocates,
nonprofit professionals, and city policymakers.
NICWA’s juvenile justice work helped develop
groundbreaking new policies and initiatives. With
support from the Public Welfare Foundation,
NICWA addressed tribal notification in the juvenile
justice system in New Mexico. We convened 23
state stakeholders, including tribal leaders, judges,
prosecutors, probation officers, professors, and youth
service providers. As a result, NICWA identified the
research focus counties, designed research to include
Native families and legal and service personnel, and
highlighted important issues impacting Native youth in
New Mexico. The project aims to improve outcomes for
Native youth while improving tribal-state relationships.
NICWA’s juvenile detention alternatives initiative
( JDAI) convened a think tank to formulate a national
tribal juvenile rights agenda and to expand the JDAI
to Indian Country. Its work produced a tribal grantee,
the Mississippi Band of Choctaw, who is implementing
the first tribal JDAI site. With support from NICWA,
additional tribal JDAIs will launch soon. This initiative
is the result of a partnership with the Annie E. Casey
Foundation and the Association on American Indian
Affairs.
6
Technical Assistance & Training
At the heart of NICWA’s mission is building tribal capacity to prevent child
abuse and neglect through positive systems change at the tribal, state, federal, and
international levels. One way we achieve this is by offering training and technical
assistance (TA) in nearly every forum imaginable, ranging from webinars, to
on-site training to tribal child welfare workers, to keynote presentations to
international communities. Key outcomes include:
• NICWA staff adhered to a robust, year-round travel schedule, where
training and TA was provided in 71 diverse communities and 24 states
(plus the District of Columbia), spanning three countries.
• Attendees of our training institutes participated in some of our most
requested courses such as ICWA Basics, Advanced ICWA, and Positive
Indian Parenting.
• Other tribal communities received individualized site visits from senior
NICWA staff to help evaluate tribal capacity to improve and expand
their child welfare services.
• Professional organizations invited our policy staff to speak on the
ramifications of the Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl decision at their
conferences and conventions.
• Executive Director Terry Cross continued his advocacy to the
international community, speaking on the rights of Indigenous children
worldwide.
These are just a few of the examples of the outreach to Indian Country and
beyond that NICWA provides each year. All of it is intended to strengthen the
communities our children live in by establishing high standards and deeper
expertise of workers in their fields, increasing the strategic development of tribal
programs and policies at all levels, and raising awareness of the connections we
all share in our commitment to children.

Events
National Day of Prayer
On June 26, 2013, the day after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its
decision in Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl, NICWA called for Indian Country
to join together for a National Day of Prayer for Native Children. Gatherings
arose almost spontaneously in a dozen Native communities across the country in
support of the Brown family, the Cherokee Nation, and the Indian Child Welfare
Act.
Golf Tournament
The 4th Annual Golf Tournament hosted by NICWA, held on Veterans Day 2013
at the Country Club at Soboba Springs in San Jacinto, California, was successful
on many fronts. Among them was the opportunity it provided to raise our
visibility with the many sponsors of the event. We welcomed the opportunity to
share constituent and board member stories about the importance of our work.
The event raised over $32,000, which diversified our revenue base and helped
increase the financial stability of our organization. Finally, the tournament gave
NICWA the opportunity to honor our late beloved Chairman Maurice Lyons
who first had the vision of this annual fundraising event. Chairman Lyons had a
great passion for golf and a deep commitment to the well-being of Native families
and protecting the future of tribal nations.
32nd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference
With the support of our members and donors, including Seventh Generation
Sponsor W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Host Sponsors Seminole Tribe of Florida
and Muscogee (Creek) Nation, our 32nd Annual Protecting Our Children
National American Indian Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect brought
together the best in the field of tribal child welfare, attracted the participation of
key public policymakers, and encouraged our members to strive for excellence.
Eight hundred and fifty people from across the US and Canada convened in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to collaborate and share strategies on how to promote
tribal sovereignty and the health and well-being of Indian children, families, and
communities.
Several federal and philanthropic partners recognized the conference as the
best opportunity to garner input on policies and initiatives from those directly
working in the field and community leaders. As a result, the BIA and the
Government Accounting Office each hosted listening sessions in tandem with
our conference. The U.S. Department of Justice Task Force on American Indian
and Alaska Native Children Exposed to Violence held one of its four public
hearings to ensure our constituents could provide testimony. Speakers included
Associate Attorney General of the United States Tony West; Assistant Secretary–
Indian Affairs, U.S. Department of the Interior Kevin Washburn; and Associate
Commissioner of the Children’s Bureau JooYeun Chang. In a remarkable first,
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation Racial Healing Initiative not only provided
sponsorship support, but also unveiled a special conference track focused on
international Indigenous issues.
12
Membership
NICWA’s members come from all walks of life. They represent diverse
professions extending far beyond the child welfare arena. Tribes, urban
Indian and child advocacy organizations, and individuals from nearly
every state—and many nations—make up our membership. Through
their support and continued engagement, NICWA is able to grow
and improve our response to the true needs of our constituents and
stakeholders.
Because their investment in NICWA is the lifeblood of our
organization, we continually endeavor to make being a member of
our organization a meaningful benefit. In 2012–2013, this entailed
expanding our membership program by:
• Offering the merit-based Wisdom Circle Scholarship Program
to members for the first time
• Seeing our monthly membership webinars achieve
unprecedented national significance, as they tackled pressing
issues such as the Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl decision
• Mapping satisfaction and incorporating feedback into the
structure and development of membership benefits
• Welcoming annual conference participants as members
The result of these efforts has been increased engagement. Membership
is up 59%, and attendance at our membership events is at an all-time
high. We are proud to serve our members and thank them for all they
do for our organization.
13
Executive Transition
The transition will be the culmination of
several years of planning and strategic, gradual
shifting of roles and responsibilities, supported
with funding from the Kresge Foundation and
the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Taking such a
measured approach to the executive transition
created the unique opportunity to evaluate
the organization’s governance and operations,
map a long-term strategic plan collaboratively,
and promote transparency of the organization
through constant communications with the
communities NICWA serves.
Beginning in 2015, Terry Cross will
assume the role of senior consultant for the
organization. While Kastelic will assume
her new role as executive director at that
time, she has already assumed leadership of
some of Cross’s executive responsibilities,
including fiscal operations and all board
activities. In 2014, Cross and Kastelic
began a series of face-to-face meetings with
partners and supporters to ensure that these
relationships are handed off in a good way.
Significant changes such as these are bound
to generate many questions, and even
a little apprehension, about how a new
executive director may change NICWA’s
role as the leading advocacy organization
dedicated to tribal child welfare issues.
Understanding that such concerns are a
natural result of the departure of a muchadmired founding director, the deliberate
and strategic way this transition has
unfolded over four years should lessen any
disruption. We remain committed to our
mission and vision.
NICWA has always sought to align its
philosophy, management, and services with
the cultural teachings of American Indian/
Alaska Native culture. In Native cultures,
leaders do not “retire.” Instead, they transition
into a different role, that of an elder, mentor,
or thought leader who holds institutional
memory and helps teach the next generation.
As Cross moves into this role, NICWA will
continue to draw from expertise, insight, and
wisdom.
