Cherokee Nation attorneys are hailing a recent decision by the Kansas Supreme Court abandoning the so-called "existing Indian family" doctrine in a case where a non-American Indian unmarried natural mother sought to have her child adopted by members of her family and terminate the rights of the child's unmarried natural father.

However, a trial court judge ruled that the ICWA did not apply to the termination and adoption because the child had never been part of an American Indian family relationship.

That's slowly beginning to change, though; in Washington state, this year's graduating class of law students became the first in state history tested on Indian law. Indian law intersects every other area of practice," says Gabe Galanda, a Seattle attorney and member of California's Round Valley Indian Confederation, who spearheaded the campaign to have the Washington State Bar Association adopt the testing requirement. Fearing malpractice charges, lawyers ...
