The case was remanded to the tribal court for a custody determination three years after the twins had been placed with non-Indian adoptive parents.

Under the provisions of the ICWA, the Navajo Nation stepped in and sought to place the child with a Navajo family, but that failed and the Brackeens were allowed to adopt the child. The Brackeens later attempted to adopt the boy's sister in state court, but the girl's extended family also sought to take in the girl. The Brackeens then filed suit in federal court to overturn the ICWA on the grounds of racial discrimination. This approach would "completely erase tribal sovereignty" according to Lauren van Schilfgaarde, a 658:
