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
