Abstract
In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court denied a writ of habeas corpus to return the children to their mother, citing the purpose of Habeas Corpus petitions are for unlawful detainment of persons in the tribal jail. The Court, sua sponte reversed the lower court’s temporary ex parte order granting custody to the children’s father, until a show cause hearing can be held to determine the best interests of the minor children. The Judge returned the children to their mother until a determination of their best interests can be made.
