FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND A. The Court Removes Shane From Mother In July 2016, DCFS filed a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 300, subdivision (b)(1),2 on behalf of Shane (born June 2006), alleging that Mother’s mental and emotional problems rendered her unable to provide regular care and supervision for the child. In August 2016, Mother filed an ICWA-020 form, indicating potential Cherokee ancestry. Also included in the record is a form containing handwritten notes stating Mother potentially had both Cherokee and Blackfoot ancestry. In August 2016, DCFS mailed ICWA notices to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Blackfeet Tribe of Montana, the United Keetowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. In September 2016, the court sustained the petition, declared Shane to be a dependent of the court, and removed him from Mother. The court
