CONGRATULATIONS BULLDOGS
GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT
Beginning the month of April,
and thereafter, the enrollment
and fish and wildlife staff will
be Issuing tribal identification
cards, and licenses.
As part of this process we are
also conducting an assessment of
tribal needs and priorities.
This process should take only a
few minutes of time for- each
individual to complete. The
benefits of this process for
future planning and program de
velopment are tremendous.
With the results of this infor
mation, we will be able to iden
tify the types of existing
services tribal members are us
ing, and to what extent; priori
tize those services, and plan
for the development of services
and programs which members feel
are important.
Additionally, we will be able to
determine the types of economic
development projects tribal mem
bers are interested in pursuing
as individuals, and in which
direction the membership would
like the tribal economic devel
opment effort to go.
We hope this-tribal identifica 7,
tion and assessment effort will
not inconvenience any one, and
we appreciate your . patience , in
helping us through this process.
We have established a schedule
of places, and times for this
process throughout, the service
area, in addition to a regular
schedule for this activity in
our office. The specific sched
ule appears elsewhere In this
copy of the newsletter.

HOUSING UPDATE
We need to update our housing
Inventory so we have an accurate
asesment of the needs of people
in our tribal area .
It is very important that every
family be included in this pro
gram. Housing assistance pro
grams are funded on a basis of
percentage of needs in the area.
We need Information from fami
lies who rent, own or live with
friends or relatives. We need
information to determine whether
housing, is, or is not, standard.
It is our goal to make standard
housing available to all eli
gible tribal members in the near
future but we must have accurate
information on the needs at the
present time.
