ICWA is designed specifically to protect the welfare of what group of children?

Children of military families
Children in low-income households
Children of Indian descent
Children with disabilities

The correct answer is: Children of Indian descent

ICWA stands for the Indian Child Welfare Act, which was enacted in 1978 to address the high rates of removal of Native American children from their families and communities. The act aims to protect the best interests of Native American children and to preserve their cultural and familial ties. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they do not align with the purpose of ICWA. Option A may seem plausible as it includes the word "children," but it does not specifically target children of military families. Option B may also seem possible because low-income households may face disadvantages, but ICWA does not exclusively focus on this group. Option D is incorrect as it only addresses children with disabilities, while ICWA is intended to protect all Native American children, regardless of their abilities. Option C is the most accurate and specific answer as ICWA was created to protect the welfare of children with Native American heritage.
