Unpacking the Impact: How Executive Orders and Directives Affect Native Children and Families

As the new Administration nears two months in office, over 80 executive orders and directives have been issued, while Congress continues to move forward with budget reconciliation and appropriations work. In February, the National Indian Child Welfare Association (NICWA) hosted a webinar to engage constituents and partners in an overview of the new Administration and Congress, and to begin strategizing support for tribal and urban Native human service programs and the Native children and families they serve daily.

NICWA will continue this conversation this month with a webinar that takes an in-depth look at executive orders with the greatest potential impact on tribal and urban Native human service programs. While most of these orders and directives do not specifically target tribal nations, the challenge lies in understanding how these policies will affect Native children and families given their broad scope and language.

This webinar will engage participants in the following ways:

1. Explore a series of executive orders and delve into their high-level impacts.

2. Gain insights about how tribes and urban Native organizations have been impacted thus far, based on community feedback.

3. Participate in dialogue with attendees to share observations from your community and exchange strategies for effectively supporting the needs of Native children and families.
   

This webinar is open to all who work to support Native children and families.
