The Enrollment program establishes eligibility and officially registers eligible individuals of Tlingit and/or Haida descent as tribal citizens. Tribal citizens are then issued an Enrollment Certification Letter and may apply for a tribal photo identification (ID) card which identifies their eligibility for programs such as Indian Health Services, Higher Education, Employment & Training, Johnson O’Malley (JOM), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Tribal Courts, and Tribal Family & Youth Services.
