Indian Child and Welfare Act

MADRIGAL, LUKE
Indian Child and Family Services (ICFS)is a non-profit organization established in 1980 to implement the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. There are thirty-three Indian reservations in Southern California and ICFS strives to sustain these family and tribal ties to promote and preserve indigenous culture. In its over twenty years of existence ICFS has served the Indian community as a licensed Foster Family and Adoption Agency. Luke Madrigal Executive Director has been with the agency since 1987. The agency has evolved in addressing inter-generational dysfunctions brought on by postcolonial oppression (i.e., alcoholism, substance abuse, and domestic violence). Recent research findings demonstrate practices which can overcome these dysfunctions and lead to success for future generations.
