Enrollment Committee
The Enrollment Committee is appointed by the Tribal Council through the Standing Committee application process. For details on the duties and powers of the Enrollment Committee, see the Enrollment Ordinance.
The Enrollment Staff reviews and determines if the application/request is complete then forwards the completed application/request with the initial recommendation to the Enrollment Committee to review fifteen days prior to the quarterly meeting. The Enrollment Committee makes a recommendation on the application/request to Tribal Council for the final decision. The Enrollment Staff posts the Enrollment Committee’s recommendation in the area offices, Tribal Administration Building and on the Tribal website prior to action by Tribal Council.
Meetings are in-person and available virtually on zoom. The zoom link is on our CTSI website Member Area, click on the Enrollment Postings, or you may e-mail the Tribal Enrollment Department at EnrollmentDepartment@ctsi.nsn.us to have link sent to you.
