As part wastewater treatment, RV million and is funded by 2013 of the divorce process, the parties receive a divorce decree from a relevant court that divides up the property and the debts of the former husband and wife with each other. This divorce decree can often include a discussion of responsibility for a debt with CTC. For example, the divorce decree may state something similar to “husband is responsible for ifty percent of the Colville Tribal Credit debt.” Alternatively, the divorce decree may state “husband is one hundred percent responsible for the debt with Colville Tribal Credit” and the wife is then responsible for some other debt (or vice versa). Despite what the divorce decree may state about the responsibilities of the former husband and wife to each other to faithfully pay on the debt with CTC, a situation can arise where the party designated in the divorce decree fails to pay on the CTC debt. CTC then moves to collection on its debt. When joint and several liability applies, CTC usually begins collection against both of the ex-spouses. CTC tries to collect its debts against any and all possible parties up until the time the debt is satisied. CTC may pursue collection in a manner that attempts to seek recovery in the quickest and most eficient manner possible. This can result in CTC pursuing a debtor that is easier to locate as opposed to one that is more dificult. This can also result in CTC pursuing a debtor that has a current ability to pay the debt, rather than a debtor that does not have a current ability to pay. Due to joint and several liability, CTC can collect from either formally married spouse when the borrowers divorce after the CTC loan is made. A Colville Tribal Court of Appeals case ( # AP07-002) states that CTC can collect its debt in full against a previously married borrower that has joint and several liability with CTC, notwithstanding contrary language in a divorce decree. As this opinion correctly notes, by its very nature a divorce decree relates only to the rights and responsibilities of the former husband and wife to each other, and cannot effect a relationship with a third party over a prior debt of the marriage. Any Colville member that is going through a divorce should be sure to discuss with their appropriate advisor the topic of responsibility for debts during the marriage. Moreover, it may be wise to ensure that a divorce decree has language discussing what remedies are available when a divorced spouse fails to pay on a debt to a third party (including perhaps a reduction in any divorce alimony, or a return of property previously given to the other spouse).

The Eisenhower Fellowship Scholarship was just one scholarship program that Angelena had been awarded. The Eisenhower Program is a Transportation Research Board Fellowship that a Native student can receive up to twice in a lifetime. Since offered at EWU, Angelena received the Eisenhower in 2009 and 2011; this scholarship nearly paid $7,500 a year for education. With this, $1200 is given to the student to travel to Washington D.C. to present to the Transportation Research Board (TRB) a project of each student’s choice of study in the ield of Transportation Planning. Angelena and three other students from EWU attended the TRB Conference in D.C. Angelena says: “We were the only Native Americans in the whole country to receive this honor. Casey (Stanger) Moore, Chamisa Littlebird, and William Marchand also received the Eisenhower in 2009, the irst year it was offered at EWU. Casey and William were the other two Colvilles that went with me. Chamisa is from the Spokane Tribe.” Additionally, the National Center Senior Transportation (NCST) Fellowship Scholarship was awarded to Angelena in 2010, and her research project is published in the NCST Transit Research Board. The CTEC scholarship was awarded during the years and the Washington Indian Gaming Association Scholarship (WIGA) awarded to Angelena because of a 3.8 overall GPA.
