The AIE Toolkit is a practical resource designed to support county directors, managers, and supervisors in enhancing ICWA compliance without adding extra workload. By contextualizing existing ICWA-related efforts, the toolkit aims to improve engagement strategies that prevent appeals and new cases. It includes various resources such as definitional tools, engagement strategies, assessment and evaluation tools, and additional multimedia resources that promote culturally appropriate inquiry and collaboration with tribal communities. Strengthening relationships with tribal entities is key to improving outcomes for American Indian youth.
