OFFICE OF TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP
Greetings,
The Constitution of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma does not permit dual enrollment. Therefore, if you wish to stay a member of the Creek Nation, you cannot become a member of the Choctaw Nation.
If you are a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and wish to terminate your membership/voting rights with them to become a member of the Choctaw Nation, then you may do so by completing the enclosed relinquishment statement and returning it the following address: Muscogee (Creek) Nation Attn: Citizenship Board P.O. Box 580 Okmulgee, OK 74447
Once the Creek Nation has received and processed the relinquishment, they will send a copy to us. Please check with our office for the status of your relinquishment, at which time you will need to submit a Tribal Membership application (if you have not already done so). We will then complete the process of making you a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and will send you a Tribal Membership card.
This will in no way affect your Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood card (CDIB); it only pertains to membership/voting.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully,
Tribal Membership Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Of Oklahoma Citizenship Board
