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.

UO still offers in-state tuition benefits to Siletz Tribal students
The University of Oregon contin-
ues to offer in-state tuition benefits to
enrolled members of the Siletz Tribe
regardless of their current state of
residency.
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.
