ENROLLMENT
POW-WOW COMMITTEE
Dear Fellow Tribal Members and Friends;
Our Tribal membership now totals 2021. Con
gratulations to our new members! In addition
to preparing enrollment files I have been
developing the Tribal I.D. cards procedure.
At this time the tentative date of issuance
is March or April. A schedule is being
arranged to make a visit to each of the six
counties in our service area. Next month's
newsletter will contain the updated infor
mation. There are still many incomplete enrollment
files on hand. If you have not received an
enrollment number, please contact me. Anyone
without an enrollment number will NOT receive
an I.D. card. Please remember that the en
rollment procedure takes about 3 weeks. After
the files are completed, they are reviewed by
the Enrollment Committee. The Enrollment
Committee makes their recommendation to the
Tribal Council, who in turn approve the new
members. The enrollment numbers are not is
sued as soon as a file is completed.
Many of my clients have informed me of their
change of address. Thank-you! If you have
not informed me of any address change, please
do. It is very important to our Tribal pro
grams to know where our members are living.
I will be working with our new staff member,
Greg Archuleta, who has been hired to develop
a Fish and Game program for future use. Greg
will accompany me to issue the I.D. cards, so
take advantage of the chance to meet him. . We
will be working out of the office periodically,
but the secretary will have a schedule and will
be able to inform you of our return. If you
are from out of town, please call ahead to be
sure that I am in. I have been issued a Not
arial Commission, and offer the service of a
Notary Public to Tribal members free of charge.
If you have any questions, please call or write
to me in care of this office.
A Pow-Wow Committee meeting will be held
after the General Council meeting on Feb
ruary 1. Anyone interested in working on
the Pow-Wow is invited to attend,

success, we will offer a larger variety in
