The review dates may vary from time to time as

are usually within the same month.
Keep in mind that if there is
an abundance of enrollment applications to process at the time of the deadline,
a 30 day processing time will come into effect from the deadline date above
before it is reviewed by Tribal Council.
If a person would like to become a member of the
Nooksack Tribe, he/she must first meet the
Membership Criteria
.
Individuals can obtain an
application by mail, fax, phone or by simply clicking on this Enrollment
Application
link. He/she fills out
the application and returns it with the proper documentation to the Enrollment
Department via mail or fax. The Enrollment Department then looks over the
application and family tree to determine if there is Nooksack lineage and that
all criteria for enrollment are met. If all enrollment criteria have been
met the application is forwarded to the Nooksack Tribal Council for acceptance
by resolution or denial.
Enrollment applications are brought to the Tribal
Council once per month. The person is then contacted
by certified mail on the decision.
All
applicants that are rejected are given 30 days to file an appeal.
