Montana acts to protect Native American priority in adopting Native children

Demonstrators stand outside of the U.S. Supreme Court, as the court hears arguments over the Indian Child Welfare Act on Nov. 9, 2022, in Washington. Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte has signed into law legislation Monday, May 22, 2023, that gives Native American families preference in fostering and adopting Native children involved with child protective services, as the U.S. Supreme Court considers a case that could undercut a similar federal law.
