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.
Enrollment also maintains official demographic information for tribal citizens and provides enrollment verification when necessary.
For application process and eligibility requirements, please refer to our “Program Profiles” booklet.
Enrollment applications are reviewed and acted on by the Tribal Enrollment Committee quarterly (four times per year). The committee consists of six Delegates appointed by the President.
