Do you have a Tribal ID card?
You can obtain your Siletz Tribal ID
three ways! This is for adults and children,
so make plans to get yours today if you do
not have one.
1. Come to the Siletz administration
between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to get
your Tribal ID in person the same
day. If you plan to travel to Siletz, you
should call ahead to make sure the ID
machine is at the office as occasion-
ally it is taken to a Tribal event to issue
ID cards at the event.
2. Contact your local area office in
Eugene, Salem or Portland to make
sure the staff member is available at
the time you plan to go to the office.
Have some other form of ID with
you so they can confirm your identity.
They will take your photo and capture
your digital signature. These will be
sent to the Enrollment office in Siletz.
Your ID card will be printed in Siletz
and mailed to you via Priority® Mail.
You will receive your ID card in a
couple days.
3. If you are unable to go to a Tribal
office, there is a form on the Tribal
website to request your Tribal ID. You
will need to have someone take your
photo with a digital camera or smart
phone; additional instructions are on
the form. Your signature will need to
be notarized and a copy of another
form of ID mailed so we can confirm
the photo emailed to us is you. The
card will be sent to you via Priority®
Mail and you will have your card in a
couple of days.
Mailing address updates for
per capita checks
Missing Moccasins do not receive
their per capita checks on time!
The last day to get your mailing
address updated in time for your per capita
check to be mailed to a new address is July
14, 2017, by the end of the business day.
Any address changes after that date will
affect the mailing of the per capita check,
causing a delay in receiving it.
Please see the information below
about address changes and Missing Moc-
casins. For the full policy regarding per
capita checks, please see the Tribal Mem-
ber Distribution Ordinance on the Tribal
website at ctsi.nsn.us under Government
Listings > Tribal Ordinances.
One of the popular questions is “How
much is per capita going to be?” That
amount is calculated on July 1, taking in
to account the amount to be distributed,
the number of enrolled Tribal members
alive on that day and postage costs.
On July 3 after 12 p.m., you can call
541-444-8224 to hear an automated
recording of the amount as well as going
to the Tribal website, under the opening
page of the member area login, for the
written announcement.
If someone does not have a good
address and phone number on file with
Enrollment, that person is considered a
Missing Moccasin. Please check the list
below for anyone you might know.
Missing Moccasins do not receive
this newspaper, election mail, per capita
checks, 1099 forms and other important
mail from the Tribe.
Are you a parent of a minor Tribal
member who did not receive a statement
of his/her Minor Trust account earlier
this year? It could be that your child is a
Missing Moccasin.
Address changes
If you have recently moved, even if you
have a forwarding address on file with the
post office, please send in your Address
& Contact Information Update form as
soon as possible. You can get the form on
the Tribal website, from any Tribal office
or contact the Enrollment Department to
have one mailed to you.
All address updates must be in writ-
ing to ensure that you have requested the
address to be changed, this is for your
own security.
Tribal website: ctsi.nsn.us
Enrollment page found under
Government Listings, then
Enrollment
The good thing is that with this
updated system and technology, should
you lose your card or move and need an
updated card with your new address, just
call us and we can mail it to you!
There is a $5 fee for a replacement
ID card. Every Tribal member is able
to have one Tribal ID per calendar year
at no charge. If you need to update your
Tribal ID for a name change, new address
or an updated photo, the Tribal ID is not
considered a replacement card.
Getting a reprint of the same card that
was previously issued within the same cal-
endar year is considered to be a replace-
ment card that would require the $5 fee to
be paid. Staff will take into consideration
catastrophic events for loss of a Tribal ID
card to waive the replacement fee.
There is a brochure on the Enrollment
page of the website detailing the benefits
of having a Tribal ID card.

As a note, “General Delivery” is not
acceptable as a mailing address as it is
only temporary and the post office will
only hold mail for a limited time for deliv-
ery. We had a large amount of “General
Delivery” mail returned and this is not
effective in getting mail to Tribal members
when we need to. It is much better to rent
a post office box if you are not able to use
a permanent address somewhere else.
If this is a concern for you or someone
on the Missing Moccasins list, call 800-
922-1399, ext. 1258, or 541-444-8258
and we will work with them to figure out
a permanent address solution.
Social Security cards
Letters were recently sent out for
minors who do not have a Social Security
card on file. If you received a letter, please
mail a color copy directly to Enrollment
or take it to an area office to have a color
copied mailed to our office.

Death benefit forms
As of May 4, 2017, there are 546
adults and 780 children who do not have
a Designation of Death Benefit Benefi-
ciary form on file. Every Tribal member
needs to have one on file.
There is no “default” beneficiary such
as a spouse if married or parent/guardian
if a child. Do you know if your form is
on file? When did you last update your
form? Do you know whom you named
as your beneficiaries? If your beneficiary
is not a Tribal member, do you know if
what we have on file is their current con-
tact information?
The new form requires it to be signed
in front of a notary. Any forms that are cur-
rently on file without a notary signature
are valid and do not need to be updated if
all the information listed on it is current
and accurate.
Blood quantum corrections
Since 2012, several people have had
blood quantum corrections due to “all
Indian blood” being counted for Tribal
enrollments that occurred on the 1978
Restoration Roll (Tribal roll numbers
0001-1085) and prior census records.
Below is a list of the primary Tribal
members/ancestors who have had a blood
quantum correction completed; some
were due to mathematical errors. Over
the next few months, Enrollment staff will
send out letters to the descendents of these
individuals if a blood quantum correction
has not already been completed.
Please review the list of names and see
if your ancestor is listed. You may be able
to request a blood quantum correction if
the change has not already been applied
to your own calculation.
If you are not sure who your ances-
tors are or think you have an ancestor who
needs a blood quantum correction, request
