What is Tribal Enrollment? It is a process tribes use to establish membership criteria based on customs, traditions, language and tribal blood. Enrollment criteria is defined by tribal constitutions or ordinances. The criteria for membership varies from tribe to tribe.
Individuals can apply for membership to a specific tribe based on research completed to prove descendency from someone on a tribe’s base roll in addition to tribal blood quantum or tribal residency.
The Tribal Platforms™ Enrollment solution from Arctic IT is based on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform and helps a tribe manage the membership application process while maintaining the current tribe membership roll. This solution provides Enrollment staff the ability to easily research tribal member details to answer questions from other tribal departments regarding member eligibility for programs using desktop or mobile devices.
