PO1 Tony Holland interesting read my friend: Their adoption petition will turn on more than just what’s best for the child—it will turn on what becomes of long-standing tenets of American Indian law, tenets that are now uncertain.
A.L.M.’s sister’s case, like his own, pits two core values against each other: the importance of preserving Native American culture and the desire for a child's immediate needs to trump all other concerns. Whatever the outcome, something will be lost.

Perhaps looking at their culture may give you a hint, often woman and children were kidnapped an incorporated into a new tribe what does this tell you about adoption in native American culture?

From the article:
"they argue that Native Americans are a political group, not a racial one."
This has long been a major issue. IMO, they are both.
It boils down to assimilation versus cultural preservation.
