PAGE 7 ENROLLMENT REPORT Dear Fellow Tribal Members and Friends, Our tribal membership not totals 2,242. Congratula tions to all of our new members! Now that our office re-location is completed, I will be able to issue tribal I.D. cards on a daily basis. My office is now large enough to accommodate the camera. Please call for an appointment or in advance to insure that an issuing officer is present. A computer will now be used to automate the enroll ment records. Many clients who were listed on the 1954 termination membership roll have never contacted this office since our restoration in 1983. If I do not have a file on my clients, it could be possible that important information would never be received. If you were a tribal member before termination, but have not had any contact with the enrollment office, please call or write to me. I will send you an update form to complete. It is very important to know the locations of our members. Our tribe will include a member's possession of other Indian blood in their total Indian blood, IF the other tribe is a federally recognized tribe. If one of the parents is 14 Grand Ronde, you would posses 18 Grand Ronde Indian blood. If the other parent is 14 (for example) Klamath, you would possess 18 degree Klamath Indian blood. You would possess a total of 14 degree Indian blood. A client must prove their possession of other Tribal blood by submitting: 1) A certificate of Indian blood that lists the parents' name, tribal affiliation, blood quantum and roll or membership number. 2) Supporting birth documentation. Other tribal blood cannot be included if the above documentation is not submitted. I have some of the addresses of other tribes that are available on request. If I can assist you, or you have any questions, please contact me in care of our tribal office. Sincerely, Margo George Enrollment Director WULT EDUCATION CULTURE & HERITAGE CLASSES - DECEMBER 1 & 15, 1987 -6:30 PM -MANOR USDA FOOD RECIPES Please send in any receipts you might have that can be used with USDA food.
