The order terminating parental rights is conditionally reversed and remanded for the sole purpose of further ICWA notice compliance. The juvenile court is directed to ensure that proper notice is given under ICWA by, at a minimum, providing notice of Miguel A., Jr.'s birthdate, as well as correcting any other defects the court deems appropriate. If, after receiving adequate notice, no tribe or government agency intervenes, the juvenile court shall reinstate the order.
