A quick definition of ICWA:

Term: ICWA

Definition: ICWA stands for Indian Child Welfare Act. It is a law that helps protect Native American children and their families. When a Native American child is involved in a child welfare case, ICWA requires that certain steps be taken to make sure the child stays connected to their culture and community. The abbreviation "id." or "ID" means "the same" and is used in legal writing to refer to a source that was already mentioned.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: ICWA stands for Indian Child Welfare Act. It is a law that was passed in 1978 to protect the best interests of Native American children and to promote the stability and security of Native American families.

For example, if a Native American child is removed from their home by child protective services, ICWA requires that the child be placed with a Native American family or tribe whenever possible. This is because the law recognizes the importance of preserving the child's cultural identity and connection to their community.

The abbreviation "ID" or "id" is also used in legal citations to refer to the same source that was cited previously. For instance, if a court case is cited as "Smith v. Jones, 123 U.S. 456 (2019)," the subsequent citation may use "id." instead of repeating the entire citation, like this: "id. at 459."
