Williams, J.
(concurring)—Although the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 applies, requiring notice be given the Chippewa tribe, In re S.B.R., 43 Wn. App. 622, 719 P.2d 154 (1986), I concur because placement is with relatives in the Shoshone Indian tribe. If and when placement with non-Indians is in prospect, the Chippewa tribe should be given notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to declare tribal membership of the children.
Review denied by Supreme Court March 31, 1987.
