He’s wrong. It has nothing to do with PC.
Native American tribes have sovereignty, and he’s speaking of a law that was passed when white people stole/bought/adopted Native children and depopulated the reservations.
This law on the books from decades ago was to stop the practice and identify tribal affiliated members. In courts, the Indian Child Welfare Act trumps state and Federal laws.
My understanding is that the foster family had this child and the native family wanted her back when she was an infant and the foster family fought it.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how much native blood she has - a treaty is in place and the government is required to honor it.

The law, passed in the 1970s
All that was happening in 1970?
