her new back porch with her mother Sharon Grout. Dizick recently purchased
her new home on the river with the help of Tribal member and Real Estate

The Election Board would like Tribal membership to
be aware that we are proposing changes to the Elec
tion Ordinance. One of the changes we will be asking
Tribal Council to look at is the possibility of modifying
the Signature Verification form requirements to pro
vide alternatives to the notarization requirement, such
as providing a copy of the Tribal Identification Card
issued by the Enrollment department or other forms
of identification that will allow us to compare signa
tures on the ballot and Signature Verification Forms.
We will be bringing our proposed changes to Tribal
Council for a possible first reading in February. After
that we will be posting a series of notices for com
ment in the upcoming editions of the Smoke Signals
Publication.
Participate in the development of your
Tribal Government. Come to the meetings
and offer suggestions. Be informed.
Call the Election Board office to find out if
your signature is on file.
