I. INTRODUCTION

G.A., mother of D.A. (the child), appeals from the orders of the juvenile court entered at the jurisdiction/disposition stage of this proceeding, challenging only whether the Department of Children and Family Services (the Department) complied with its duties of inquiry under the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 (ICWA, 25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.) and related California statutes (Welf. & Inst. Code1 § 224 et seq.). We conclude the appeals are moot.
