This report is based upon a 1985-86 survey conducted by the Dull Knife Memorial College Indian Child Welfare Project. A series of workshops were conducted throughout Montana to acquaint providers of services for abused and neglected Indian children with the requirements of and issues associated with the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978. Participants in these workshops completed a questionnaire that examined the state of Indian child welfare services in each participant's community. The purpose of the survey was to collect basic descriptive information and viewpoints on the participants' activities. Several areas are identified that indicate the need for detailed study for the improvement of services to Indian children. This survey represents an exploratory effort to document the general concerns of those who serve abused and neglected Indian children in Montana. The findings are not definitive evidence for actual activities, but are the perceptions of the 47 individuals who chose to participate in the survey. This report is organized into the following sections: (1) Where Do Indian Communities Look For Child Welfare Services?; (2) How Do Indian Communities Administer Child Welfare Services?; (3) What Do Indian Child Welfare Workers Say About The Present State Of Services?; (4) What Implications Do The Survey Results Hold For Service Agencies?; (5) What Implications Do The Survey Results Hold For Indian Educational Institutions?
