If the child was not on the reservation at the time of birth the tribe can not retain jurisdiction. The only way to know this is to hire an attorney that has knowledge of icwa. I am going through the same thing right now. I hired an icwa attorney in flagstaff named Jay. I live on the east coast. The judges and attorneys don't know the law, so they get confused and think that they have to comply with the tribe. Also, the birth parent can give you guardianship without the tribes approval.
