Course Description
- Tribal enrollment today is a facet of tribal sovereignty that has been decidedly controversial in recent years. Tribal revenues are considered by many as the prime reason for the increased enrollment, based upon gaming enterprises and their lucrative financial resources. This has caused a degree of purposeful discussion between tribal members and their leaders regarding enrollment criteria and whether all members of the tribe qualify for enrollment in a particular tribe.
- This course designed by Montana & Associates will instruct tribal leaders, enrollment committee members, and other tribal officials on issues surrounding tribal enrollment today and audit of tribal enrollment records. From blood quantum to lineal descent provisions, this course covers all areas of the tribal enrollment process and requirements and further, instructs on the most efficient manner to audit files.
- Determination of whether or not your tribe’s enrollment files reflect tribal legal requirements is essential to ensuring that all tribal enrollment files are in order and contain all the documentation and other requirements that your trie requires as per tribal law.
- This course will include a discussion on the differences in the types of audits that a tribe may choose to conduct.
