For Native American children, this item also examines timely notification to the tribe and placement with the child's extended family or tribe.

Preserving connections was rated "strength" for 68% of Native American children, compared to 80% of all other children
81% of cases with white children were rated "strength" for this item, compared to 78% of all other children
