Thank you for sharing your location. Could you please clarify the specific legal issue or question you have regarding Native American children in Idaho? This will help me provide the most relevant information.

In Idaho, anyone can potentially get custody of children, including non-natives. However, under the Indian Child Welfare Act, preference is generally given to Native American families for custody of Native American children. This is to preserve the child's heritage and ties to their tribal community.

In Idaho, if one parent is non-Native, the court will consider the best interest of the child, including cultural connections. However, the Indian Child Welfare Act still applies, and the non-native parent will need to show that their custody is in the child's best interest.

To show that your custody is in the child's best interest, you may need to demonstrate:
- A stable home environment
- A strong emotional bond with the child
- The ability to meet the child's physical, educational, and emotional needs
- Respect for the child's Native American heritage
Legal representation can be beneficial in these cases.
