AT THE CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBAL ENROLLMENT OFFICE


This past November, Tiana Antoine took her newborn daughter, Prairie, to the Confeder- ated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ Enrollment Office to receive her enrollment card, also known as a Tribal ID. On each card is the tribal member’s photo, enrollment ID num- ber and blood quantum, indicated by a frac- tion. The ID (right) is an official documen- tation of enrollment status and is needed to complete paperwork that requires proof of American Indian status, such as applications for federal student aid, health care benefits and tribal housing.
