The Violence Against Women Act requires states, tribes and territories to provide full faith and credit for each other’s protection orders on domestic violence and child welfare. Such orders may relate to criminal cases connected to the Tribe or its members. States and tribes have pursued a variety of paths to ensure full faith and credit enforcement. Some states have enacted statutes explicitly recognizing tribal judge protection orders. In other states, the judicial branch or the executive branch have established procedures for enforcement of tribal judge orders.

• Course Description: Since enactment of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) in 1978, states have deferred to tribes when they assert jurisdiction for one of their children, and tribes rely on their tribal judges to protect them. Tribes, however, may not have the resources for their children and draw on state and local child welfare resources under the jurisdiction of state courts. Tribal and state courts therefore have built collaborative relationships for child welfare.
