Our Coalition
NICWC Coalition
Our Coalition is what started it all in 2008! We started meeting as a grassroots group, including tribal representatives and other partners that had a vested interest in Indian Child Welfare in Nebraska. Jill and Misty were a part of the original group that started it all in 2008. Today our Coalition continues to meet every month on the 3rd Friday of the Month and continues to be a time when all of the tribes and partners can meet to discuss current issues, upcoming events, explore ways to collaborate, and strengthen the voice of Native American children and families in Nebraska. Today, the Coalition meetings continue to guide the work of NICWC, Inc..
