In re Anaya J.G., a Minor 

Notice provisions of Indian Child Welfare Act were not applicable to termination of parental rights hearing where there was some evidence that minor's maternal grandmother may have been affiliated with the Cherokee tribe. Minor's biological mother and father are not members of an Indian tribe, and made only bare assertions that grandmother was of Cherokee descent; thus, there was insufficient evidence that minor was a member of an Indian tribe. Best interest determination is supported by manifest weight of evidence; even though cultural differences between minor and foster parents, a nurturing and positive environment was provided, and biological mother was inconsistent in her participation and contact with minor. (TOOMIN and HOWSE, concurring.)
