Monday, January 12, 2009 – Tribal Enrollment Q & A: (listen)
To become a citizen of a tribal nation a person must first pass the criteria set by a particular tribal government. The requirements vary from tribe to tribe and many tribes have been updating or altering their enrollment standards. Even individuals who are familiar with their tribes’ enrollment ordinances may be in for surprises, and those who are not can become quite frustrated. Do you have questions about getting yourself, a family member or someone you know enrolled? Guests are tribal enrollment expert James Mills, President/ Creating Stronger Nations, Inc. and BIA Deputy Bureau Director for Field Operations, Mike Smith (Laguna Pueblo.)
