ENROLLMENT
Dear Friends and Fellow Tribal Members:
In the month of August, 117 applicants were approved for enrollment
in our Tribe. Oongradulations to all the new members!
I would like, once again, to explain what is needed to complete an
applicants enrollment file. A completed enrollment application, along
with birth documentation must be turned in to me. The birth document
must show the date of birth and the natural parents names. I must have
the names of the parents to trace descendancy to an enrolled member. If
descendancy is being traced through the applicants mother, the birth
record must contain her maiden name. If your birth record is faded or
misspelled, do not write on it. Send it as it is! A seperate piece of
paper may be submitted with the corrections on it. Any handwriting on
the copy of the birth record will be considered an alteration. Altered
birth documents will not be accepted.
Those of you who are wondering why you haven't received an enroll
ment number, or haven't heard from the enrollment office, please contact
me. I've been very busy preparing files for the enrollment committee,
and its been hard to try to contact every person whose enrollment files
are incomplete.
I stated last month, that I need current address's to be able to
contact applicants. I've sent letters to many, stating what is needed
to complete their file, only to have the letters returned. Each letter
that I receive marked "undeliverable" or "forwarding order expired" is
needlessly wasting the 22 postage, the cost of the envelope and the
time it takes to prepare the letter. Please send in your current address
if you haven't done so already. Here is a list of the people who's mail
was returned this past month:
Jeanice Hammett William Drum Jr. Harry D. Jeffers
Gordon Williams Jessica Drum Albert E. Jeffers
Pamela ELlingson Priscilla Scott Belden L. Jeffers
If there are any questions that I can try to answer, please feel
free to call me, or drop in at the depot tribal office. My hours are
8 am to 5 pm., Monday through Friday. We are closed from 12 noon to
1 pm. My phone number is (503) 879-5215. I'm here to serve you!
To all interested persons that would like to make Shawls please let me know at the
Tribal office or wite to Pat Gray, Smoke Signals, P.O. Box 38, Grand Ronde, OR 97347.
The time and date will be announced at a later date.
Sincerely,
Margo George
