in Interest of K.C and L.C

Summary

The court held that ICWA does not require a best-interests enrollment hearing before terminating parental rights when children are eligible for tribal citizenship but are not Indian children under ICWA. It also held that neither federal nor Colorado law requires the Department to enroll or assist in enrolling eligible children, although assistance may be a better practice. The court therefore reversed the court of appeals and reinstated the district court's termination judgment.
