White people still try to usurp Native Americans' rights about their own children

Adoptive couple wants feds to bring girl to SC - Yahoo! News

Sometimes the Supreme Court does things like it deliberately tries to divide people.  I think this is one of those times, once again.

Since local authorities in the states are subject to the federal authorities (FBI etc.), especially where white people are concerned, why would the Supreme Court put the responsibility on the states to decide where a Native American child should live if her biological family is alive and want here in her own "culture" and learning her own cultural history.  Of course the state will decide for the white couple (at least this couple is not black, Native American, etc. meaning they must be white).  This is another instance of white intrusion upon Native Americans where it hurts and where, with their words so far, the complainants threaten to "take the matter into their own hands if necessary."  Very typical, very typical indeed.

This beautiful "Indian" child should have the right to be with her own parent, and her parent has the right to raise his own child - even if the "powerful" takes her from him, which the Law should not allow or it is just another "Indian" law or legislation that has no authority.  People tout that children should be with their parents, then tout this: this child has a live father and should be with him.

Maybe the white people can give Veronica the world including love.  However, she does not need the world, she needs her father and her ethnic culture and history (as her culture would tell it).  What will count against this man (Dusten Brown, the real father) is that a white family wants to "take" his child while accusing him of kidnapping his child, and he is not a white or Veronica's mother is not white, but Native American.  Even if the Council should rule in favor of the complainants, it would be the carrying out of a fishy "command" of some sort from some quarter.
