California Court of Appeal

Where the information provided by a paternal grandmother was insufficient to give the court reason to believe that the minors might be Indian children, the juvenile court did not err when it conducted a Welf. & Inst. Code section 366.26 hearing without complying with the notice provisions of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).
