Records detail federal takeover of Red Lake Nation's child welfare program
A federal notice released through a public records request shows the Bureau of Indian Affairs took over Red Lake Nation's child welfare program in September, saying children were in "imminent and substantial jeopardy." The notice alleges a "pattern of inaction" and a refusal to cooperate with federal authorities, and links program inaction to child deaths since 2021. The tribe says it is cooperating fully with the BIA, has appealed the decision, and has agreed to mediation.
