     (a) Notice of Right to Shelter Care Hearing. The notice of
the right to request a shelter care hearing required by RCW

notice shall inform the parents, guardian, or custodian of their
right to a lawyer as provided in Title 9 of these rules.

     (d) Indian Children. If the petitioner knows or has reason
to know that the juvenile is an Indian child as defined by the
federal Indian Child Welfare Act, the petitioner shall notify the
child's tribe in the manner required by RCW 13.34.070(10) and 25 U.S.C. 1912.
