In re L.D.
In this appeal, the mother of a dependent child challenges the order terminating her parental rights and freeing the child for adoption. The mothers appeal rests on her claim that the juvenile court committed reversible error in failing to assure compliance with the notice requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). More specifically, she asserts that ICWA required notice of the dependency proceedings to both Apache and Navajo tribes, but that only the Apache nation was notified. For reasons explained below, we reject the mothers ICWA claim on the merits. Court therefore affirm the order terminating parental rights.
