C.  Respondent Parent Counsel Checklist




  • Ask whether the parent has any Indian heritage.
  • If either parent or both parents answers affirmatively, inform the department’s counsel of the Indian heritage.
  • If the parent is unsure or is sure of Indian heritage but unsure of details, and receives a form from the department with regard to Indian heritage, encourage the parent to fill the form out and see that it is timely returned to the department.
