Enrollment Concerns

There have been many concerns expressed about Enrollment for several years. Not long ago, the Tribal Council had an opportunity to help over 300 people and chose not to until they could figure out language that would allow them to have only one (1) Constitutional Election.
My personal opinion is that we should move forward now with a Constitutional Election to remove the "Parent on the Roll at time of birth" and continue to work on language for the remaining issues. If this amendment were approved, we could help over 300 people enroll who should be Tribal Members but are not simply because their parent was not on the roll when they were born.

I am concerned that including the removal of the parent on the roll at time of birth with other issues, people not want to vote in favor of one of the other issues and the amendment would fail.

Many people were very angry and upset when the Tribal Council chose to not move forward, and I don't blame them; I would be angry too if it were happening to me.
Although the issues with enrollment do not affect me or my immediate family, this is one area that needs to be resolved and one that I would work toward resolving.
