Enrollment Update News February 2012 Proposed Changes in the Tribal Enrollment Ordinance [email protected] Enrollment Update News February 2012 Proposed Changes in the Tribal Enrollment Ordinance In October 2011, the Bishop Tribal Council held the 1st of a series of Pub- lic Hearings regarding proposed changes in the enrollment ordinance. The pro- posed changes would be to amend the ordinance to add new criteria such as: blood quantum, a residency clause, and having a contin- ual generational enrollment of descendents. Question: How did we arrive at Each meeting scheduled has discussed a “proposing” a blood quantum different topic.

EXAMPLE OF CONTINUAL GENERATIONAL ENROLLMENT ELIGIBILITY FEBRUARY 2012 ENROLLMENT UPDATE NEWS PAGE 3 STATISTICS A concern that has been voiced from the past meetings has been the INCREASE in the tribal enrollment. When the “OFFICIAL” enrollment in the tribe began, we started with a base roll membership of 716 adults. According to the base roll criteria, there were many different areas that families could trace back to for descendancy. If the intentions were to include “everyone” then that opened the doors for enrollment of their families for generations to come. As stated by the BIA representatives, the base roll is permanent and can not be changed. According to the Bishop Paiute Enrollment Ordinance… Article II. TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP Section 1. Base Roll A.

    A Political Ecology of Healing 1 Elisabeth Middleton University of California, Davis, USA. The concept of historical unresolved grief has powerful implications not only for healing from our past, but for giving us the strength and commitment to save ourselves and future generations. Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart and Lemrya DeBruyn2 1. Introduction On June 29, 2004, the Pacific and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council convened a public meeting in Chester, California, in the northeastern Sierra Nevada mountains. The Board members and staff introduced the Council's purpose—to oversee the planning and divestiture of approximately 140,000 acres (56,656 ha.) of former Pacific Gas & Electric Company land around California—and then opened the floor to public comments and suggestions. One after another, representatives from Mountain Maidu groups including the Honey Lake Maidu, the Roundhouse Council Indian Education Center, and the Maidu Cultural and Development Group, and their allies, stood up and requested the formal inclusion of a Native American representative on the Stewardship Council Board. All of the lands to be divested, and, particularly for Maidu participants, much of the 53,185 acres (21,523 ha.) within the Feather River Planning Unit lie within the Mountain Maidu homeland. To not have an official representative of Native American interests on the Board to oversee the planning efforts for these lands seemed to indicate a blatant disregard for the historical and contemporary Native presence. In his 1998 review of political ecology,

INTRODUCTION This article examines the path, or trajectory,1 of Indian country in California. More precisely, it explores the origin and historical development over the last three centuries of a legal principle and practice under which a particular, protected status has been extended to land areas belonging to and occupied by indigenous peoples in what is now California. The examination shows that ever since the Spanish first established a continuing presence in California in 1769, the governing colonial regime has accorded Indian lands such status.
