Enrollment actions as taken per Tribal Council resolution On a quarterly basis, the Tribal Council takes action on requests regard- ing Tribal enrollment. These actions can include approval or rejection of applica- tions for enrollment; blood quantum corrections; removal actions; removal of deceased members; and name changes. Per the Enrollment Ordinance, the recom- mendation of the Enrollment Committee is publicly posted at the area offices and on the tribal web site for 20 days before Tribal Council takes action. Tribal Council, however, has the authority to not follow the recommenda- tion of the Enrollment Committee and take action it feels is correct. Because this currently is not covered under the Enrollment Ordinance, the Tribal Council and Enrollment Committee wish to afford the general Tribal member- ship public notice of these actions and create awareness of the appeal process. What is an Appeal? From Enrollment Ordinance §2.314 (A) An appeal is a written request to the Tribal Court for judicial review of a rejection or approval of any individual’s application for enrollment under §2.304 of the Enrollment Ordinance, or a removal or denial of removal of any person from the Tribal Roll under §2.310 of the Enrollment Ordinance, or a modification or denial of modification of a member’s blood quan- tum by the Tribal Council under §2.312 of the Enrollment Ordinance. Who can file an appeal? From Enrollment Ordinance §2.314 (B) Any person whose application for enrollment has been rejected, any person whose blood quantum has been adjusted, any person who has been removed from the roll, and any Tribal member or extended family member who disagrees with the enrollment of any person, the adjustment of blood quantum of any person, or the denial of removal of any person from the Tribal roll, may file an appeal with Tribal Court. How do I file an appeal? From Enrollment Ordinance §2.314 (C) The appeal shall be filed pursuant to the Tribal Court Rules of Procedure Ordi- nance §3.009(A) “Time for Filing.” All appeals shall be supported by the record of the hearing before the Enrollment Com- mittee, and the record of any proceedings before the Tribal Council. Decisions of the Court shall be final except as provided for in the Enrollment Ordinance §2.314(E). Section 2.314(e) provides that the Enroll- ment Committee can reconsider previous enrollment actions at its discretion, if new information is provided. If you have questions about any of the actions listed below that were made on Sep. 18, 2015, at the regular Tribal Council meeting, contact the Enrollment Depart- ment or Tribal Court at 800-922-1399 or 541-444-2352. You can obtain a copy of the reso- lution on the Tribal website under the “Member Area.” If you are a Tribal mem- ber and cannot access the “Member Area,” please contact Enrollment staff. Contact Tribal Court if you wish to file an appeal and need their assistance in the process for submitting an appeal. 4 • Siletz News • Requested Action: Application for Enrollment Name Roll # Elton O’Dell Anderson Sierra Leanne Anderson Brock Liam Arden Brittany Michelle Ashworth Colton Earnest Wayne Barker Wyatt Anthony Brown Adianna Butterfly Butler Kayla Marie Chase Cruz Wanbli Cockrum Paetynn Shaleen Cole Katori Ann Collins Gary Dale Corum Xavien Brock Amaru Santos Curiel Kelsie Renae DeBusk Kayden Jon Vincent Farrell Bella Mae Fernando Amelia Linn Esley Fox Katana Magic Star Garcia Breanna Marie Harman Matthew Joseph Hegge II Lilliana LeAnn Hochstetler Beckett Hudson Hooton Marjorie Marie Kalb Kyle Robert Kerr Rowen Kelly Kraxberger Sitala Daphne Logsden Barbara Seraphina Lopez Villegas Jarzira Kyaleen Lopez Villegas Bentley Abrian Lucas-Branch Andrew James Morrow Beau Saint Clair Muschamp Nova June Neal Audrina Echo Payne Franklin David Pistorius Charmain Renee Riggs Elias George Samson Jade Desirae Scott Malinda L.

The Residency by Aboriginal Right Program was first offered in 2001 to 44 Tribes that have aboriginal territories within the state of Oregon that pre-date 1850. Out-of-state students will pay in-state tuition, a $20,000 savings each academic year. “All high school graduates should go to college. It’s not a choice. It’s a requirement. Our ancestors sacrificed October 2015 and survived so that we would have the choices we have today,” said Jason Younker, UO assistant vice president, advisor to the president for gover nment-to- government relations and a member of the Coquille Indian Tribe. “We should honor their sacrifices.” UO offers bachelor’s and graduate degrees through 272 academic programs. As a member of the Association of American Universities, it is one of only 36 public universities committed to scientific exploration and interdisciplinary research. One hundred sixty-two American Indians from across the nation are enrolled at UO, including 27 from Oregon Tribes. The Many Nations Longhouse opened in 2005 and is home for the Native American Student Association, the Native American Law Students Association and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society. The UO Mother’s Day Pow-Wow is one of the largest Tribal celebrations in Oregon. For more information about UO, visit uoregon.edu.
