Who Can Join?
Anyone may make application for citizenship or membership. Every application
will recieve equal attention, but not everyone can become a member or citizen.
Citizenship is based strictly on genealogy, and it is completely up to the applying
person to prove to the satisfaction of the elders that he or she is genealogicly connected.
A person applying to be a member must show or demonstrate to the elders that he
or she can or has benefited the tribe in some way of worhtwhile value.
Everyone is encouraged to come to the public gatherings and participate in the
activities. The cultivation of relationships and expression of interest is part of the process of becoming a member.
