Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 had its purpose to protect the Native American children, as well as to protect the Native American culture and communities. In this period, very high percentage of the Native American children where taken away from their parents by the social agencies. In all fairness, the social agencies did not did anything wrong, they were only taking away children from families where they were neglected and their parents were not suitable for raising them. Still, this caused a big problem, as the percentage was so high, that if it continued like that, the Native American culture and communities would have totally collapsed in only few generations. In order to stop that process, this act set its goals on making the families more stable, trying to stop some negative trends, educating both the children and the adults, all in order to help them to keep their core, their culture, their identity.
