Description

MOORE, Justice. The Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 U.S.C. §§ 1901-1963, (ICWA) provides minimum federal standards for the removal of Indian children from Indian families and allows vacation of any adoption decree rendered in violation of its terms. We first address the applicability of ICWA to the unique facts of this case. Secondly, we consider the applicability of Alaska's one-year statute of limitations to an action initiated pursuant to § 1914 of ICWA. The trial court found that the action to vacate the adoption decree was time-barred by Alaska's one-year statute of limitations. We affirm.
