How Do I Trace Indian Ancestry?

To determine if you are eligible for tribal membership, contact your ancestral tribe. Individual tribes determine tribal membership. Additional resources links to trace Indian ancestry are provided below.

Indian Ancestry - Establishing Your American Indian Ancestry

Some people want to become enrolled members of a federally recognized tribe. Others want to verify a family tradition (belief, fact or fiction, passed from generation to generation) that they descended from an American Indian, either in their distant or near past. While others might want just to learn more about from whom and where they came. When establishing descent from an Indian tribe for membership and enrollment purposes, the individual must provide genealogical documentation. The documentation must prove that the individual lineally descends from an ancestor who was a member of the federally recognized tribe from which the individual claims descent. When people believe they may be of American Indian ancestry, they immediately write or telephone the nearest Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) office for information. Many people think that the BIA retrieves genealogical information from a massive national Indian registry or comprehensive computer database. This is not true. Most BIA offices, particularly the central (headquarters, Washington, DC) and area (field) offices do not keep individual Indian records and the BIA does not maintain a national registry. The BIA does not conduct genealogical research for the public.

Doing the Genealogical Research – Do I need to use a computer?

Yes, it cannot be stressed more that the use of a computer is a valuable tool in your effort to do genealogical research. There are many organizations and individuals that have digitized their records, pictures and files and placed them on the World Wide Web. The ability to gather records, current addresses, phone numbers and other vital information that you will use, make it a necessary tool to use. Computers and the Internet can be accessed at your local public library or local community college, check in your area. Once on, there are many sites dedicated to the work of genealogical research, we do not recommend or endorse any of them. Also, be aware that these sites are usually private, for-profit and will charge you for their service. All the information they have collected is readily available for you to collect, if you know where to go and your willing to do the work. You should be familiar with the use of a search engine to find web sites that are of interest to you. Search engines are computer programs that search the Internet for specific words, that you enter, listed in meta tags of the web site. Use words such as Native American genealogy or tracing American Indian Ancestry as search words.

How do I begin the search for my ancestors?

Start your genealogical research with yourself. Do not begin genealogical research in Indian records for this can most often be the wrong approach. Instead, begin research in current, rather than historic records. If an individual is not currently a member of a federally recognized tribe, band or group research should begin in non-Indian records or other public records such as those records maintained by state and local governments, churches, and schools. Individuals should find all the information they can about their parents, grandparents, and more distant ancestors and write such information down. The most important information is vital statistics, including ancestral names, dates of birth, marriages (or divorces) and death, the places where ancestors were born, lived, married, and died. During such research, the goal, especially for tribal membership purposes, is to establish and document the relationships of Indian ancestors and to identify the Indian tribe with which their ancestor may have been affiliated.

Where do I look for information? At Home The first place to begin genealogical research is at home. Valuable information can be found in family Bibles, newspaper clippings, military certificates, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, diaries, letters, scrapbooks, backs of pictures and baby books. Relatives, particularly older ones, are another good source of information. Persons doing this research should visit or write family members who may have the genealogical information that they are seeking. Someone else in your family may also be working on a family history. On the

local and state level: It is often useful to check school, church, and county courthouse records for information. Researchers should not limit the scope of their search to birth, death and marriage records. Historical and genealogical information can be found in other civil records at the county courthouse such as deeds, wills, land or other property conveyances. Write to the Bureau of Vital Statistics, usually in the state capital to request copies of birth, death and marriage certificates, or divorce decrees. Include the name of the individual, date and place of birth and your relationship to that person. State governments did not keep birth and death records until the turn of the century, about 1890-1915, so searches in state records for ancestors who were born or died before that time may be limited. In public libraries and other repositories Visiting the local library is a good starting point for gathering facts about Indians and Indian tribes. A wealth of information exists concerning the history of Indian tribes, tribal cultures, the historic tribal territories, and the migration patterns. Most libraries also have books on how to do genealogical research. The genealogical research books give a good understanding of standard research techniques. Researchers can also contact genealogical organizations, historical societies, and other private institutions. For example, the Family History Centers are "branch offices" of the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). This private institution contains a large collection of genealogical documents relating to Indians that may be useful in research. On the Federal level The National Archives in Washington, D.C. has records of genealogical value. The Federal government took the census every ten years since 1790 and is a very good source of information for individuals who are trying to identify their ancestors. Census records from 1790-1920 are available on microfilm in the National Archives' regional branches. Seventeen branch offices are in major metropolitan areas throughout the country. A brochure describing the branch offices is available from: The Archives at: National Archives and Records Administration, Publication and Distribution Staff (NECD), Room G-3, Eighth St. and Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20408-0001. The National Archives also has military and service related records, passenger arrival records, and other records of value to persons involved in genealogical research. A copy of the free leaflet, Genealogical Records in the National Archives is available on request. The National Archives has various publications for sale. The Archives have microfilmed all censuses. Individuals can purchase copies of the microfilm rolls and associated genealogical materials. Various rolls of microfilm are available for rental at the National Archives. The telephone number for rental and sales requests is: 1-800-234-8861. The National Archives Internet address is www.nara.gov. Records Concerning American Indians At some point in the research, the researcher will have identified the tribal affiliation of one's ancestor(s). Now is the time to begin research in records about American Indians. The Native American collection at the National Archives includes special censuses, school records, and allotment records. For more information concerning the special censuses of various tribes, the National Archives offers:

• Microfilm Publication M1791 • American Indian Censuses • The Special Census of Indians, 1880.

BIA Offices If your ancestors had land in trust or went through probate, the BIA field offices in selected areas throughout the United States may have some records concerning Indian ancestry. However, the BIA field offices do not maintain current or historic records of all individuals who possess some degree of Indian blood. The records the BIA holds are current rather than historic tribal membership enrollment lists. These lists (commonly called "rolls") do not have supporting documentation (such as birth certificates) for each tribal member listed. The BIA created these rolls while the BIA maintained tribal membership rolls. The BIA no longer has extensive involvement in tribal membership. Current Federal policy and case law limits the involvement of the BIA in tribal membership matters

3

unless mandated by congressional legislation, or is required by the tribe's governing document or otherwise requested by the tribe. When you contact a BIA field office, be prepared to give the name of the tribe, the name(s) and birth dates of ancestor(s), and relationships. You must provide specific information otherwise field offices (and other institutions) probably cannot provide much useful information. The Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. §552(a) protects the current tribal membership rolls and lists that the BIA maintains. Submitting a request for genealogical information under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. §552, is not necessary for records compiled and published by private institutions or available in census records declassified by the National Archives. What do I do if I was adopted? The Bureau of Indian Affairs cannot help you with your pursuit of opening closed adoption papers. There are organizations that can be found on the Internet that can assist you with information on what information may be needed. The BIA does not endorse or recommend any of them. You will need to obtain legal advice from a lawyer that deals with this area of the law. If you do not want to do the work yourself If an individual does not wish to conduct their own research, researchers are available for a fee. Please write to the Board of Certification of Genealogists or the Association of Professional Genealogists and request their listings of genealogical researchers for hire. Their addresses are:

Indian Ancestry - Enrollment in a Federally Recognized Tribe

What is the purpose of tribal enrollment? Tribal enrollment requirements preserve the unique character and traditions of each tribe. The tribes establish membership criteria based on shared customs, traditions, language and tribal blood. What are tribal membership requirements? Tribal enrollment criteria are set forth in tribal constitutions, articles of incorporation or ordinances. The criterion varies from tribe to tribe, so uniform membership requirements do not exist.Two common requirements for membership are lineal dependency from someone named on the tribe's base roll or relationship to a tribal member who descended from someone named on the base roll. (A "base roll" is the original list of members as designated in a tribal constitution or other document specifying enrollment criteria.) Other conditions such as tribal blood quantum, tribal residency, or continued contact with the tribe are common. How do I apply for enrollment in a tribe? After you have completed your genealogical research, documented your ancestry, and determined the tribe with which your ancestor was affiliated, you are ready to contact the tribe directly to obtain the criteria for membership. Rarely is the BIA involved in enrollment and membership. Each tribe determines whether an individual is eligible for membership. Each tribe maintains it's own enrollment records and records about past members. To obtain information about your eligibility for membership, you must contact the tribe. How do I Locate the Tribe I may have Indian Ancestry from? The Tribal Leaders Directory that is published by the Bureau of Indian Affairs lists all 562 federally recognized American Indian Tribes and Alaska Natives. It also lists all the Regions, Agencies and Offices within the BIA. Indian Ancestry - What are the Benefits & Services Provided to American Indians & Alaska Natives

The Myth of the Monthly Check There has long been a myth that Indians receive a monthly check from the U.S. Government because of their status as Indians. There is no basis for this belief other than misinformation and misconception of the status of American Indians. Some tribes, tribal members and lineal descendants received payments from the Federal Government resulting from claims settlements. But there are very few judgment funds per capita payments that remain today. Some tribes distribute payments to enrolled members when revenues from the sale of tribal assets such as timber, hydroelectric power or oil and gas permit. Many tribes cannot make per capita payments because they do not have natural resources or other revenue from which they make a fund distribution. Some Tribes have successful businesses, such as defense contracting, casino operations and information technology companies If profits warrant it, and tribal members approve it. Funds from those operations can be paid out as monthly, yearly or occasional stipends to tribal members. There is a clear distinction between judgment funds and tribal funds. Judgment funds are appropriated by Congress after a claim that is filed by tribes or Indian descendant groups against the United States, is settled. Tribal funds are derived from tribal assets (refer to paragraph above). An individual does not have to be an enrolled member of a tribe to receive a final judgment fund payment. An individual must be an enrolled member of a tribe to be eligible to receive payments derived from tribal funds. Services for American Indians Indian Affairs, through its government-to-government relationship with federally recognized tribes, carries out the Federal Government's unique and continuing relationship with and responsibility to tribes and Indian people. Indian Affairs programs support and assist federally recognized tribes in the development of tribal governments, strong economies, and quality programs. The scope of Indian Affairs programs is extensive and includes a range of services comparable to the programs of state and local government, e.g., education, social services, law enforcement, courts, real estate services, agriculture and range management, and resource protection. Many Federal agencies other than the Indian Affairs have special programs to serve the American Indian population, i.e., the Indian Health Service (IHS), an adjunct of the Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The IHS provides health care services through a network of reservation-based hospitals and clinics. Besides standard medical care, the agency has established programs that specialize in maternal and child health, mental health, substance abuse, home health care, nutrition, etc. The Administration for Native Americans, another agency within DHHS, administers programs aimed at strengthening tribal governments and supporting the social and economic development of reservation communities. Other agencies of the Federal Government that serves the special needs of Indian people include the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Agriculture, Education, Labor, Commerce and Energy. All American Indians & Alaska Natives, whether they live on or off reservations, are eligible (like all other citizens who meet eligibility requirements) to receive services provided by the state such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the Food Stamp Program and the Low Income Heating and Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). North American Indian Tuition Waiver/Scholarship Program The Waiver/Scholarship Program of the University of Maine System has been established to encourage eligible Native Americans to pursue higher education in Maine. The tuition waiver program covers the cost of tuition and mandatory fees. The scholarship program covers the cost of room and board on campus, at the double room rate. Tuition & Fees Waiver: The Tuition Waiver pays all tuition and mandatory fees. Tuition for any regular credit bearing course (graduate or undergraduate level) is waived whether the student is or is not enrolled in a degree program. Mandatory fees are also waived. The program will not cover medical expenses, fines, and other fees that are not required for enrollment in classes. The program does not cover books and supplies New Applicants: You will have to complete an application form and sign the program guidelines and provide supporting documents. You may obtain and Tuition waiver and scholarship application packet by calling 207-780-4006 or email: zkravljaca@usm.maine.edu

Contact the Multicultural Student Affairs office for information at 207-780-4006 or email at: zkravljaca@usm.maine.edu Documentation Needed: You must obtain a letter or an official document signed by a band or tribal official verifying your membership. Descendents must provide documentation of a parent's or grandparent's band or tribal membership. In addition, descendents will need to provide the appropriate birth certificates indicating the relationship to the parent/grandparent. Application Process: Once all documentation has been obtained please contact the Director of Multicultural Student Affairs at 780-5798 in order to initiate the short application process. Eligibility: You are eligible if your name is included on the current tribal census of the Passamaquoddy Nation, Penobscot Nation, the Houlton Band of Maliseets, or the Aroostook Band of Micmacs; or if you have lived in Maine for at least twelve months prior to application and a grandparent was either included on the census of a state, federal, or provincial North American Indian Tribe or held a band number of the Maliseet or Micmac Tribes. Determining Tribal Eligibility: Members of Maine Tribes: To be considered a Maine tribal member your name must be included on the current tribal census of the Passamaquoddy Nation, the Penobscot Nation, the Houlton Band of Maliseet, or the Aroostook Band of Micmacs. An original document from the enrollment offices of these four tribal communities must be presented in this documentation process. It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain clear documentation that proves membership in a Maine tribe. Members of Other Tribes: To be considered a tribal member of another tribe your name must be included on the tribal census or enrolled in a federally recognized tribe. If you are from a Canadian Reserve, you must provide an original document showing your band number. An original letter or certificate from the tribal official who certifies membership, a band card, or a certificate of degree of Indian blood issued by the US or Canadian governments is required. Additionally, documentation of state residency for the past twelve months prior to application must be provided. Forms of documentation include rental or home ownership, utility bills, etc. Your documents will be photocopied and the originals will be returned to you. Note: Out of state students who reside in Maine for twelve months are eligible for a special incentive scholarship, reducing their first year of tuition to in-state rates. It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain clear documentation that proves membership in a federally recognized tribe. Descendants of a Tribal Member: An original document from a federally recognized tribal office stating that a parent or grandparent is an enrolled member to that tribe or has enrollment on the tribal census must be presented for eligibility. If your parent or grandparent is from a Canadian Reserve, you must provide an original document showing their band number. An original letter or certificate from the tribal official who certifies membership, a band card, or a certificate of degree of Indian blood issued by the US or Canadian governments is required. Once enrollment documentation of the parent or grandparent has been provided, documentation from the applicant showing state residency for the past twelve months prior to application must also be provided. Forms of documentation include rental or home ownership, utility bills, etc. Also, to trace decadency, the applicant must present birth certificates depicting the parent and possibly another birth certificate tracing the parent to the grandparent. Your documents will be photocopied and the originals will be returned to you. Note: Out of state students who reside in Maine for twelve months are eligible for a special incentive scholarship, reducing their first year of tuition to in-state rates. It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain clear documentation that proves decendancy to a tribal member. Room & Board Scholarship: The Scholarship Program pays for all room and board charges for full-time students who have been accepted into a degree program. A double-occupancy room and nineteen meals per week are provided through this scholarship. Room and board charges incurred when classes are not in session are not covered by the scholarship. Housing is provided at the double occupancy rate. Meal plans are available only to students living on-campus. Federal regulations require that a student's total financial aid package for educational

6

purposes not exceeding the total cost of attendance. Your room and board scholarship may be reduced if you are awarded more funding that it costs for you to attend school. Additional Requirements:

• Apply for Federal Financial Aid. The FAFSA must be completed each academic year in order to remain eligible. It is highly recommended that you fill out the FAFSA no later than February 28th

guidelines.

Who are the Wabanaki People?

The Wabanaki (a collective term for members of the four Maine tribes) ... the People of the Dawn Land ... and their ancestors have lived in what is now Maine and Maritime Canada for over 11,000 years. It was not until the early 1600s that Europeans came to live in the territory inhabited by an estimated 32,000 Wabanaki. Today, there are approximately 5,500 Wabanaki people living in Maine.

Four Maine Tribes, In Brief

The following articles are excerpted from Rural Connections, Summer/Fall 1995, in partially abridged form from the work of Harold E. L. Princ, a former professor of anthropology at Colby College. His permission is gratefully acknowledged. MALISEET (Wolastoqiyik) The Houlton Band of Maliseet (pop. 1,020) is a federally recognized tribe governed by an elected Tribal Council (chair plus six members), serving staggered four-year terms. With seven bands in Canada, it forms the Maliseet Nation (pop. 3000). Aboriginal Maliseet lands are divided by the Northeast United States - Canada Boundary, but the 1794 Jay Treaty gives them free border crossing rights. In the 1870's, when logging and potato farming transformed the region, several Maliseet-hunting families settled along the Meduxnekeag River on the edge of Houlton. Without a reservation, the small community was frequently forced to relocate, until settling at “hungry hill” above the town dump. Women worked as house cleaners while men did mill work, odd jobs, and some hunting and fishing. Both genders also made baskets and picked fiddle-heads to survive. In 1970, Maliseets and other off-reservation natives formed the Association of Aroostook Indians to improve their social situation and to gain recognition for their Native rights. In 1973, they won access to services through Maine’s Department of Indian Affairs. One component group, newly incorporated as the Houlton Band of Maliseets, gained inclusion in 1980 Maine Indian Land Claims Settlement Act as the sole successor of the Maliseet Nation in the United States. While various unaffiliated Maliseet families in the region were not included and remain without benefits of formal Indian status, this “tribe” received $900,000 to buy up to 5,000 acres of trust land plus entitlement to federal services, funding for housing, and loan guarantees for economic development. Despite federal recognition, they remain fully subject to state jurisdiction and must make payments in lieu of property taxes. Since 1988, they own a new tribal center built on their own land (800 acres) near Houlton. PASSAMAQUODDY (Pestomuhkati) The Passamaquoddy (meaning “Pollack Spearing Place”) have two reservations in Maine. Sipayak (Pop. 560) is established at Pleasant Point Reservation, a 225 acre promontory in Passamaquoddy Bay. Motahkokmikuk is located fifty miles inland, in Indian Township, a 23,000 acre forest reservation located on the Schoodic Lakes chain. Since 1900, the tribe has grown from 460 to about 2,500 members, about half of whom live on the reservations. Membership is based on birth, but adoption is possible for those with at least one-quarter Indian blood. Each reservation has a biennially elected government, consisting of governor, lieutenant governor, and a six member council. The supreme governing body is the sixteen-member Joint Tribal council, which is co-chaired by governors

7

from both reservations. The Joint Tribal Council makes decisions that concern the tribe as a whole. A non-voting tribal representative at the Maine State Legislature is chosen alternately between the two reservations. In 1820 when it gained statehood, the State of Maine became the tribe’s guardian, enforced all its laws on the reservations, approved any changes in the operation of tribal government, and dispatched an Indian agent to oversee elections. In 1823, the tribe gained non-voting representation to the Maine Legislature. In 1953, the State of Maine permitted the tribe to vote in state elections. The Department of Indian Affairs acted as trustee to the tribe from 1965 - 1980, when the state was replaced by the federal government as trustee. Sipayik traditionally depended on the sea ... and later specialized in commercial basketry for the nearby sardine fishery. Motahkokmikuk relied more on hunting and trapping ... By 1960, many of the Passamaquoddy people began to abandon the reservations to escape growing economic and cultural poverty leaving only some 300 at Sipayik and 200 at Motahkokmikuk. In 1972, the Passamaquoddy Tribe undertook a massive land claim against the state (Passamaquoddy v. Morton). The immediate circumstance was the discovery that the state had sold or leased off some 6,000 acres at Indian township. The historic land claim resulted in the complex 1980 Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act. Under this act the Passamaquoddy received $13.5 million from the federal government in compensation and an additional $26.5 million to purchase 150,000 acres as trust land. Today, in addition to their reservation lands, the Passamaquoddy have purchased 134,000 acres of trust land, including 1,000 acres adjacent to Pleasant Point, 6,000 acres of blueberry barrens and forest located northwest of Indian Township, in western Maine along the Quebec border. They have had considerable success with capital investments (Dragon Cement Plant, Northeastern Blueberry Farms). They run a high stakes bingo operation, own two radio stations and operate a cable television program. They also own a lucrative patent on a scrubber designed to control coal emissions that cause acid rain. Once eligible for federal funding and services, the Passamaquoddy’s annual budget mushroomed from a few thousand dollars to about $4 million. With new offices, a health center, primary school, and modern homes to replace old shanties, tribal government has become the largest and best paying employer. New housing and free health care have lured many members back to the reservation. New work opportunities have lowered unemployment from about 80 to 30 percent. PENOBSCOT (Penawapskewi) The Penobscot Indian nation is headquartered on the Indian Island Reservation (315 acres), near Old Town, Maine. Penobscot (from Panawahpskek) translates as “where the rocks spread out”. This tribe owns about 200 islands in the Penobscot River, between Old Town and Medway and up both the east and west branches of the river to Chesunkook Lake and Mattagamon Lake. It also holds large tracts of trust land (55,000 acres) in Penobscot County, and at Alder Stream in western Maine, plus fee-simple lands (38,000 acres), including part of Carrabassett Valley near Sugarloaf ski resort. Its democratic government, which calls for biennial elections of governor, lieutenant governor, and a (non voting) tribal representative to the Maine legislature, was established following the death of their last life-chief in 1870. It also includes an elected Tribal Council of twelve members, serving (staggered) four year terms, plus a police force, tribal court, and a primary school. In 1954, Penobscots obtained the right to vote in state elections. Penobscot numbers have grown drastically this century, from 389 in 1910 to 1,984 in 1991. Although 60 percent live in Maine, only 25 percent live on the reservation. Tribal membership is based primarily on birth, but can also come through adoption, provided one possesses at least one-quarter Indian blood. While there are still some “full-blood” Penobscots alive today, over half the tribe is between one quarter and one half blood quantum. In 1920 the tribe came under control of the new State of Maine, which gained custody of all of the tribe’s holdings. An Indian agent, appointed by the governor, was charged with running tribal affairs. In 1833 Maine sold about 100,000 acres of the tribe’s remaining hunting lands, leaving them with less than 5,000 acres. Since land loss thwarted traditional subsistence patterns, nineteenth century Penobscots turned to farming or seasonal wage labor as loggers, river-drivers, and hunting guides. Many became artisans, making baskets, canoes, moccasins, snowshoes, and knick knacks. In part to enhance craft sales on the home front, the tribe began promoting the reservation as a tourist attraction in the 1920's, holding elaborate Indian pageants with special costumes and dances. Increasingly, Penobscots also found employment in the local canoe factory, or in the region’s lumber, shoe, or textile industries. In 1972 the Penobscots joined their Passamaquoddy neighbors’ land claim against the state in 1980, the tribe voted to settle their land claims in the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act, which gave the Penobscot Reservation all the powers of a municipality. While allowing a considerable measure of jurisdiction to the State of Maine, it retained many powers over internal tribal matters. The Penobscots received $40.3 million in this settlement. The tribe operates its own audio-cassette manufacturing plant on Indian

8

Island. The plant provides employment opportunities for more than 150 people, many of who are Penobscots. It had contributed to lowering unemployment from 35 percent to 15 percent. MICMAC (Míkmaq) Located in northern Maine, the Aroostook Band of Micmacs (pop. 1000) gained federal recognition of its tribal status in 1991. Together with 28 other bands, all of which are based in Canada, it forms part of the Micmac Nation (pop. 25,000). They have free border crossing rights guaranteed under the 1794 Jay Treaty. Traditionally a migratory people subsisting on hunting and fishing, the Micmacs have been allied with the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, and Maliseet in the Wabanaki Confederacy since the seventeenth century. Until recently, they formed a landless and scattered community. Their subsistence was primarily based on crafts and seasonal labor. More than half are at least “half-blood” and still speak the native language. In 1970, with other reservation natives, they formed the Association of Aroostook Indians (AAI) to combat poverty and discrimination. Lobbying for their native rights, they gained state recognition of their tribal status in 1973, becoming eligible for Maine’s Department of Indian Affairs (DIA) services. Due to inadequate resources, documentation of the Micmac history in Maine was not available when the state’s other tribes participated in the 1980 settlement of the Maine Indian land claims. After dissolving the AAI, the band incorporated the Aroostook Micmac Council in 1982, headquartered in Presque Isle. It is governed by a biannually-elected president, and eight-member board of directors. It formed a successful mail-order basketry business and sponsored a documentary film about their community. In 1991, with scholarly and legal support, it persuaded the federal government to pass the Aroostook Band Micmac Settlement Act. It provides not only acknowledgment of its tribal status, entitling members to certain federal benefits and services, but also a $900,000 land acquisition fund to purchase 5,000 acres (trust lands), as well as a $50,000 property tax fund. As a result the band and its lands now have the same status as other Maine tribes, and their lands accorded federal recognition under the terms of the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980.

Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP In order to become a member of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians you must meet the following required criteria:

• You must be closely related to person listed as a member on the 1980 Base Roll of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, and, be able to prove your Maliseet ancestry.

• You must fill out and return the application for membership, including a family tree and official documents showing your connection with your Maliseet ancestor. (birth certificates/death certificates, etc.)

• Provide your Certified Birth Certificate (no photocopies) • You must be a United States citizen. However, citizenship is not required if you are a direct descendant of

an individual listed on the 1980 Base Roll.

Once an application is returned to this office, it will be reviewed by the Membership Committee. If the file is found to be complete by the Committee it is then forwarded to Tribal Council for approval. This is done twice per year

FAQ’s: Q: Does the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians offer assistance with genealogical research for potential applicants? A: No. The Tribe does not do any type of research. The burden of proof is the responsibility of the applicant. Q: Do I have to give up my Canadian Status Card if I become a member of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians? A: No. You can be a member of the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians as well as a member of a Tribe in Canada. Q: Can I transfer my membership from another Maliseet Tribe to the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians? A: No. The only way to become a member of the Houlton Band of Maliseets is to apply for membership and meet all requirements. Q: Can I be a member of more than one Federally Recognized Tribe in the United States?

9

A: No. While you may be entitled to membership with more than one Tribe you must choose which Tribe you obtain membership with. Q: What services/ benefits are available once I become a member? (In order to receive direct service benefits, most programs require Aroostook County residency).

• Voting Rights within the Tribe as outlined by our By-laws. • Tuition Waiver for Higher Education in Maine. • Health Care Services: medical; dentistry; optometry; behavioral health; substance abuse counseling. • Housing on reservation as determined by eligibility and availability. • Complimentary lifetime hunting/fishing/trapping license.

There is a common misconception that being a member of an Indian Tribe allows an individual to receive a monetary disbursement. While some Tribes are capable of providing their members with this type of compensation, through economic development ventures, not all Tribe’s are able to provide this service. The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians does not provide this service to its members at this time. If you believe you qualify for membership into the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians, you may download an application at www.maliseets.com. If you would prefer one to be sent to you, please call the Enrollment Department at 207-532-4273 X 214.
