ICWA Tribal Agent Directory

Find the Designated Tribal ICWA Representative

Search by Tribe, BIA Region, or State — then confirm whether the Tribe provides QEW testimony in your matter.

Notice & Testimony Coordination — Four Steps

01

Locate the Tribe

Use the directory above. Search by Tribe name first, then filter by BIA Region or State if needed.

02

Send Certified Notice

Mail official notice with return receipt requested. Retain the tracking number and mailing proof in your case record.

03

Confirm Case Role

Ask whether the Tribe will intervene, monitor, or appear through tribal or local counsel. Document the response.

04

Confirm Testimony Path

Ask: "Does your Tribe provide QEW testimony?" If not, request QEW support from our team below.

What to Include in First Contact

  • Tribe name and enrolled child status details needed for notice routing.
  • Hearing type and court date.
  • Court name and county.
  • Your agency or firm contact information.
  • Closing question: "Does your Tribe provide QEW testimony for this case?"

Do not send full case files or sensitive PII in your first message.

What to Keep in Your Case Record

  • Date notice was sent.
  • Certified mail tracking number.
  • Return receipt card or delivery confirmation.
  • Date and substance of tribal response.
  • Intervention decision and representation path.
  • QEW testimony response — Tribe-provided or not.

If using a certified notice template or PDF checklist, attach the completed version to the case record and maintain version control.

The Tribe Doesn't Provide QEW Testimony?

Some tribes do not provide QEW testimony through their designated representative. If you confirmed this during tribal contact — or if you need a culturally qualified expert witness regardless — our team can help you secure support before your hearing date.
