Search 25 U.S.C. § 1922 : US Code - Section 1922: Emergency removal or placement of child; termination; appropriate action

Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to prevent the
emergency removal of an Indian child who is a resident of or is
domiciled on a reservation, but temporarily located off the
reservation, from his parent or Indian custodian or the emergency
placement of such child in a foster home or institution, under
applicable State law, in order to prevent imminent physical damage
or harm to the child. The State authority, official, or agency
involved shall insure that the emergency removal or placement
terminates immediately when such removal or placement is no longer
necessary to prevent imminent physical damage or harm to the child
and shall expeditiously initiate a child custody proceeding subject
to the provisions of this subchapter, transfer the child to the
jurisdiction of the appropriate Indian tribe, or restore the child
to the parent or Indian custodian, as may be appropriate.
