I'm not calling you prejudice, but I wanted to clear a few misconceptions from your post. I live on an Indian Reservation in New York, so I have some idea what I'm talking about. Until I know more about who was a Seminole tribal member and who wasn't, I can't help much with jurisdiction. Obviously one of these parents lives on the reservation or the tribe wouldn't have been called. Native children in the US are covered on the Indian Child Welfare Act. Since the American government used to take Native children from their parents and place them in schools or with white parents to teach them how to be "civilized", the act was created to change that. Each tribe in the US may or may not have their own police force and children's services, so some contract that out to local jurisdictions. For instance, where I am does not have their own police force, so when I call 911, the state police respond. Would it help if some of this was streamlined? Probably. But to say that a group of people has lower expectations especially when it comes to our children is just patently false and misguided.
