(1) Unless an Indian child's parent objects, the petitioning or filing party or the Indian tribe shall assist in enrolling an Indian child who is in the court's jurisdiction in a tribe with which the child is eligible for enrollment. If the Indian child is eligible to be enrolled in more than one tribe, the court shall determine membership pursuant to section 19-1.2-107. (2) In accordance with subsection (1) of this section, when the petitioning or filing party, including a county department or a child placement agency, has reason to know that the child is an Indian child, the petitioning or filing party shall, at a minimum, state in writing or orally on the record the relevant tribe or tribes with which the child may be eligible for enrollment to determine if the child is in fact eligible for enrollment. The notification to the relevant tribe or tribes may be done in conjunction with the notice requirements set forth in section 19-1.2-108 (1). (3) In a child custody proceeding, when the petitioning or filing party has reason to know that the child is an Indian child and that the Indian child is eligible for enrollment in a tribe, the petitioning or filing party shall notify the Indian child and the Indian child's parent of the parent's right to object to the petitioning or filing party's assistance pursuant to subsection (1) of this section.
