(b) When the Court exercise jurisdiction over any Indian person who is not a member of the Tribe but who is a member of another tribe, the Court shall verify that notice was given to such other tribe, and an opportunity to participate as a witness, to intervene as a party, or to file a motion seeking transfer of proceedings to the other Tribe's Court shall be permitted.
