We need to stress the importance ofyour vote in the upcoming adoption referendum. Not only will the rights of the adoptees be at stake, but your rights, as eligible voters, will also be on the line. It is the discretion of the Tribal Council when an adoption referendum will be held. There is no set time for such a referendum, only when the Council feelsan adoption is necessary. The tribal Vital Statistics department is involved with an adoption from the very beginning. When Council approaches them about the number of applicants, Vital Stats is on the go until the election. , For this referendum Vital Statistics has been working since June, interviewing applicants, qualifying blood-degree records and checking and double-checking all information. Once all the information was verified, the names of the qualifying applicants were given to us, here at Spilyay Tymoo, so that photographs could be taken. . . October 12 will culminate all the work that has gone into this referendum. Again, we can not stress enough the importance ol your vote, whether it be for or against. Fifty-percent of all voters, aged 21 or married, are eligible to vote. If 50% of the voters do not cast their ballots on October 12, the elections will be invalid. On pages 5 through 8, photographs are shown of the 48 people who have men all adoption requirements for the adoption referendum on October. 12.
