ENROLLMENT REPORT
Dear Fellow Tribal Members and Friends,
I have just mailed our newest members their enroll
ment numbers. Our tribal membership now totals
2190. Congratulations to all of our new members!
I attended an enrollment training workshop in Seattle,
Washington, Aug. 24-28. During this week, I learned
how to Implement an improved filing system. I also
was trained In documentation regulations pertaining to
blood quantum change requests and paternity cases. I
will have more Information in future newsletter articles.
During the Pow-Wow, over 50 1.D. cards were issued. It
was a hot and busy day. I thank my clients for their
patience.
AFTER NOVEMBER 1, THE I.D. CARDS WILL BE
ISSUED ONLY TWO DAYS A MONTH. Watch for the
November schedule in the next Issue of "Smoke Sig
nals". Through October, the enrollment office will issue the
I.D. cards on Thursdays and Friday. The hours are
from 9 a.m. to 12 noon; 1 pan. to 4 p.m. PLEASE
CALL AHEAD!!! I have been receiving some training,
and it is no longer a guarantee that an issuing officer
will be available.
After November 1, 1 will not keep incomplete applica
tions for a period of longer than four weeks. I need the
room for enrolled members files, as there are not over
200 Incomplete files. Next month I will publish a list of
Incomplete applicants. Please watch for relatives or
friends who appear.
My thanks to all tribal members who update their
address. It is greatly appreciated. If you have any
questions, or concerns, please write or call me.
Sincerely,
Margo George
