| Sage Aragon died after walking miles in freezing temperatures when her father's car became stuck in a snowdrift.
Robert Aragon, 55, has also been charged with felony injury to a child.
Her uncle, Kenneth Quintana, 29, who was also in the car, is being held on suspicion of second-degree murder and drug possession.
Police said that Mr Quintana was carrying methamphetamine and marijuana.

Robert Aragon had been taking Sage and her 12-year-old brother, Bear, to see the children's mother when his car became trapped in a snowdrift on Christmas Day.
Mr Aragon, who lives apart from Joleta Jenks and has custody of the children, allegedly let the pair get out of his Buick Century truck and attempt to walk the estimated 10 miles (16 km) to their mother's house.
He apparently remained behind with Mr Quintana to free the car, which had become stuck around 0900 on a desolate stretch of State Highway 75, some 110 miles (175km) southeast of Idaho's state capital, Boise.
The alarm was not raised until Ms Jenks contacted Mr Aragon, and then the police, when she had heard nothing from her children 10 hours later.
The snowdrifts were deep in Blaine County on Christmas Day
