Description:

Outcome:
Without consistent and clear factual findings supporting the application

of ICWA and North Dakota heightened review for Indian families we are

unable to determine the remaining issues raised by A.L. Whether Cass County

engaged in active efforts to prevent the breakup of an Indian family and

whether the State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that continued

custody of A.C. by A.L. would likely result in serious harm to A.C. are both

dependent upon whether the heightened ICWA and State standards apply to

this case. We retain jurisdiction and remand this case for clarification of the

findings and, if necessary, additional evidentiary proceedings to resolve the

inconsistencies
