Enrollment & Vital Statistics

Provides certification in the following areas:

• Certification of Degree of Indian Blodd (CDIB)
• Indian Preference (Form BIA 4432)
• Enrollment Cards

If an applicant is denied membership into the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe by official action of the Tribal Executive Committee then that individual may appeal to the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe Enrollment Review Committee, as established per the Enrollment Ordinance. If the Enrollment Review Committee sustains the denial of membership then the applicant may make final appeal to the Bureau of Indian Affairs as described in the Constitution and Enrollment Ordinance.

Tribal Operations assists members by processing Individual Indian Monies (IIM) applications and forms.

Each of the categories has specific restrictions that are referred to in the MCT Constitution which governs six of the Ojibwe Nations in Minnesota. The entire Constitution and amendments can be found on the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe’s website: http://www.mnchippewatribe.org/tribal_operations.htm.

Members of the White Earth Nation comprise almost one-half of the entire MCT.

Due to data privacy concerns, we must have the original forms with appropriate documentation. We are not able to process incomplete requests and are not allowed to give out information or enrollment numbers over the phone.

The White Earth Nation does not issue per capita payments to Enrolled members
