California Court of Appeals, 4th district, 2nd division, remands for DPPS to notify the proper tribe:
Here, DPSS was informed at the earliest point in the proceedings that the biological grandmother was an enrolled member of a tribe and that mother, herself, was an enrolled member of an Indian tribe. DPSS was therefore aware that an Indian child might be the subject of the involuntary custody proceeding. The problem arose when mother completed the ICWA 020 form, in which she listed the possible tribe to which she belonged as the “Stackbridge” tribe. Without conducting any inquiry on her own, the social worker accepted information from an unnamed noticing clerk indicating that the “Stackbridge” tribe did not exist, and did not send any notice to that tribe.
Without difficulty, we found the tribe. The Department of Interior’s list of “Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services From the Bureau of Indian Affairs” (otherwise known as the list of Federally Recognized Tribes) includes the “Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin.” (77 Fed.Reg. 47868, 47871 [No. 155, 2012].) The Stockbridge–Munsee Community of Wisconsin reveals that the tribe descended from a group of Mohican Indians who joined the Oneida Indians in New York in 1785, and, together, both tribes were relocated to Wisconsin.
