OK, here's is how it works:
The tribe has jurisdiction of native american children.
The tribe tries to find a placement for that child within that tribe, if placement can not be found, they then try to find placement within another tribe, if one still can not be found then they will look for a non-native american family.
It is all part if the Indian Child Welfare Act. It is a law.
My husband is Cherokee, so we are adopting through the tribe, so that is how I know.
