Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Chris C. Odell, Assistant Attorney General, and Rhoda M. Tenuta, Assistant County Attorney, for appellee State.

Joseph Kertels, Sioux City, guardian ad litem for minor children.

Phyllis Cadue, Indian Child Welfare Advocate, Rosebud, South Dakota, for Rosebud Sioux Indian tribe.

Considered by CADY, C.J., and STREIT and VOGEL, JJ.


VOGEL, Judge.

She argues the district court erred in terminating her parental rights because it failed to apply and follow the provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 U.S.C. § 1912, in the prior children-in-need-of-assistance (CINA) proceedings. She also argues there is insufficient evidence the children would be harmed in her care. We affirm.
