New Legislative History added to American Indian Law Collection

Indian Child Welfare Act: A Legislative History of Public Law No. 95-608 is now available in the American Indian Law Collection. This law was enacted as a reaction to the high removal rate of Indian children from their traditional homes and, consequently, from Indian culture as well. The Act sets minimal federal standards for almost all Indian child custody proceedings, and provides that state courts have no jurisdiction over the adoption or custody of Indian children residing within their own tribal reservation. Since enactment, there have been criticisms that state courts are still playing too much of a role by determining what it means to be an Indian child or an Indian family. Also, critics have pointed out that despite the Act, large numbers of Indian children are still being placed in non-Indian homes. This compilation includes the text of the Act, related bills, relevant reports and hearings, House and Senate debates, and GAO reports.

13 Legislative Histories Added to U.S. Federal Legislative Histories Library

Preserving the Past: A Legislative History of the Freedmen’s Bureau Records Preservation Act of 2000 is now available in the U.S. Federal Legislative Histories Library. The Freedmen’s Bureau Preservation Act of 2000 (passed and signed in the waning days of the Clinton Administration) would hardly qualify, at first glance, as a piece of landmark legislation. However its passage in a period of intense partisanship represents a rare example of both sides of the political divide coming together to protect an important but long-neglected piece of our nation’s heritage. The incredible growth and interest in African American genealogy was a key factor in the bill’s passage. Genealogical research has been extremely important in the African American community as the descendents of slaves have sought to better understand their history.
Twelve additional legislative histories have also been added.
