Native children, 35 years after the passage of ICWA, are still staggeringly overrepresented in state foster care placements across the country. Although Native Americans make up only 8.9 percent of the child population in South Dakota, they constitute 51 percent of children in foster care in that state. In North Dakota the numbers are 5.4 percent versus 28 percent, and in Montana it’s 6.5 percent versus 35 percent.
