Father appeals from an order terminating his parental rights. On appeal, he contends the juvenile court erred in finding the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) did not apply. Father argues the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) failed to conduct an adequate inquiry of extended relatives to determine whether N.B. is or may be an Indian child. We conditionally affirm the juvenile court’s order and remand for further proceedings as to father’s family.
