Northern Plains Tribal Judicial Insitute
In September, Native American Training Institute recently partnered with the Northern Plains Tribal Judicial Insitute through a Department of Justice grant to provide technical assistance and training to emerging tribal child welfare systems in selected areas across the country. This partnership will focus on helping selected tribes to develop their systems through business process flow development, policies and procedures, child protection team procedures, court training, funding procurement through state/tribal agreements, and foster parent licensing, training, and policies.
6th Annual ND Indian Child Welfare Conference
Victor LaCerva was the featured speaker for this year's 6th Annual conference on January 23-25, 2007 at the Mandan Seven Seas Conference Center in Mandan, ND. 275 participants gathered to learn, play and enjoy the information shared during the conference. Judge Thorne returned and once again was received rave reviews from all of the attendees. Again, a great big thanks to the conference committee who put in much time and effort to make this year's conference bigger than ever!
