The Riverside County Tribal Alliance for Indian Children and Families is dedicated to increasing participation, communication, and understanding among the Court, the Tribes, and County agencies serving Native American families. The Alliance was formed in 2005 under the leadership of the Riverside Superior Court. The goal is to minimize Court and County intervention and increase Tribal participation and control over Native American children and families by developing culturally appropriate services. Alliance members are working to create and sustain partnerships founded upon understanding, communication, and cultural awareness among the sovereign tribal nations and community and governmental agencies. The Alliance meets three times a year. Meetings are hosted by Alliance members and always include presentations and discussions involving cultural awareness issues and Tribal programs. The Alliance has developed sub-committees to deal with Tribal and Court training, grants, and placement for Indian foster youth. These sub-committees meet throughout the year so that ongoing issues can be dealt with in a timely manner by Alliance members. The Tribal Alliance sees this as an opportunity to collaborate for the betterment of children in Riverside County.
