She contends the removal and placement was not in the minor's best interests.

In case No. C084428, mother appeals from the juvenile court's order granting the Pit River Tribe's (the Tribe) petitions for modification, giving full faith and credit to an amended tribal customary adoption order. She argues the order must be reversed because: (1) the Tribe did not have standing to file Welfare and Institutions Code section 388 1 petitions for modification *859 and (2) the juvenile court acted beyond its authority in giving *715 full faith and credit to the amended tribal customary adoption order because it had already given full faith and credit to the original tribal customary adoption order. She also argues that the juvenile court erred in continuing the section 366.26 hearing beyond the timeframe provided by statute.

The two appeals were consolidated for the purposes of oral argument and decision.…
