Adoption of C.D. (CONFIDENTIAL) 2008 ND 128
Docket No.: 20070171
Filing Date: 6/26/2008
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Adoption
Author: VandeWalle, Gerald

Highlight: An Indian tribe's determinations of its own membership and eligibility for membership are binding and conclusive in a proceeding under the Indian Child Welfare Act ("ICWA").
The burden of proof is upon the party asserting ICWA's applicability to present evidence that the child is an "Indian child" as defined in 25 U.S.C. section 1903(4).
Allegations in pleadings, motions, or briefs are not evidence.
For purposes of applying ICWA, membership in a tribe is not synonymous with enrollment as a member of a tribe, and a party may be a member of a tribe without being enrolled in the tribe.
ICWA applies only to tribal Indians, and does not extend to ethnic Indians who are not eligible for membership in a federally recognized Indian tribe.
