    The Congress hereby declares that it is the policy of this Nation to 
protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the 
stability and security of Indian tribes and families by the 
establishment of minimum Federal standards for the removal of Indian 
children from their families and the placement of such children in 
foster or adoptive homes which will reflect the unique values of Indian 
culture, and by providing for assistance to Indian tribes in the 
operation of child and family service programs.
