| As you know in order to be enrolled with the Red Lake Band you must posses ¼ degree of Red Lake blood. This issue created by the United Stated government to eventually eliminate us is at a point of serious consideration as more and more of our children do not meet the eligibility requirements. The issue will be put forth for you to vote on May 19, 2010. We encourage your attendance at the community meetings so you can participate now in preparation for the vote. The enrollment referendum will be designed and driven by your input at the community meetings or comments mailed in. Your input, views, opinions and ideas are not only appreciated but welcomed! We value your input! At the community meetings you will get a brief overview of the history of enrollment as it pertains to all Indians, how it came to be and more specifically enrollment as it pertains to Red Lake. You will also receive a form requesting you to rank order some of the variables in regards to enrollment: No change to enrollment; Going down from ¼ to 1/8 blood quantum; Declaring every member on the 1958 base roll to be a full blood; Include all Anishinaabe/ Ojibwe/ Chippewa blood as part of the quantum; Including all other Indian blood as part of the quantum; Never decrease the mothers/fathers blood or by being a descendant of a duly enrolled member. Another idea proposed is to start an Associated Members List. This would be a list of all those children who are less than ¼. By having this list we will know how many children the current enrollment requirements negatively affects (meaning less than a ¼ ). This list could also be used in child welfare cases. Having the children on this list would enable the band to have input in regards to their welfare. In regards to the declining blood quantum a study completed by the Red Lake Nation College in 2007 predicted that are very few children will be eligible for enrollment in twenty years. We currently have an enrollment of 10,062 of which 53% are less than one-half and 47% are equal to or greater than one-half. Aside from blood quantum is the legacy that we have inherited. How are we passing on our language, our traditions and our customs? As a member we must take on the responsibility of preserving what we inherited. Preserving our land, our resources, and those things we deem important to the survival of our nation. The Tribal Secretary and staff have already met in the Ponemah and Redby districts. Watch for the postings for the meetings in Red Lake and Little Rock districts. We will also be meeting in Minneapolis and Duluth. The meetings are being arranged through the community coordinators and the directors at the urban offices. Call them for an update. Also, if you missed the meeting in your district, feel free to attend one of the others. You may also submit written comments or responses to the following address: Tribal Secretary Attn: Enrollment Ideas P.O. Box 550 Red Lake, MN 56671 This is a complex issue. As we come together to discuss it let us have clarity of mind and spirit both individually and collectively so that we will make the best decision for the sake of our nation.

| BLOOD QUANTUM TOO MUCH NEVER, NOT ENOUGH ALL TOO OFTEN |
At the December 8, 2209 Tribal Council meeting, Resolution 212-09 was passed.
The council gave the approval of an enrollment referendum to be included on the
May 19, 2010 election. The resolution also states that public meetings will be held
to seek input and ideas for the development of the referendum.
Therefore, public meetings will be held in each of the four reservation districts and
also in Minneapolis and Duluth to engage members in a discussion about the
blood quantum issue. The tribal secretary’s office will be working with the
community coordinators and staff at the urban centers to confirm dates and times.
The first meeting will be held in Ponemah on January 28, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. The
following article will generate some discussion and point out some things to
consider.
“Already, a new generation is finding it is not “Indian” enough to enroll. Though its
members may live on the reservation, participate in tribal ceremonies and even
study their ancestral language, they are not eligible for a range of federal and tribal
benefits, from subsidized health care and tribal voting rights to job preference and
the right to gather eagle feathers. And on a more tangible note, many feel they
simply do not belong.
As more and more children are born with blood that doesn’t measure up, tribes
across the country are taking a look at their enrollment requirements. In the
process, deeper questions about culture about identity about the future of tribes
are coming to the surface. Underlying them all is one with no easy answer: What
exactly does it mean to be Indian?” (Article from Indianz.com 1/13/09 “Blood
quantum threatens tribes”)
Blood quantum (B.Q.) came into being by the government to restrict Indian land
distribution in the late 1800’s. Only Indians of at least half B.Q. were allowed to
receive portions of their lands. Thus more than 100 million acres were taken from
tribal ownership and changed title under the General Allotment Act.
As Red Lake members we are truly blessed in that our ancestors did not agree to
allotment, hence, we inherited a closed reservation. We did, however, cede
millions of acres of land in exchange for health care, education and other benefits.
A couple of questions in regards to land and other services are as follows; Will
their come a time when our land is not able to accommodate the requests for land
use permits? If you have a land use permit are your children and grandchildren
going to be enough Red Lake blood to inheirit your land use permit?
What will happen if our numbers doubled or even tripled by lowering the blood
quantum? Monies to assist governments, be it, tribal, state or counties are based
on population are they not? We have never received just compensation for the
land we ceded. There is never enough scholarship money to fund all the requests
and we all know the story about our inadequate health care.
Blood quantum has been controversial ever since the federal government has
used it effectively for over a century, particularly to deny services to tribes as
membership declines. The fractional breakdown of Native blood over generations
is mathematical genocide.
We all know that there are full bloods who are not enough from any one tribe to be
enrolled.
Some of the variables of blood quantum are: do we want to keep it at a quarter,
lower it to an eighth, a sixteenth, a thirty-second, recognize all Ojibwe blood,
recognize all Indian blood or enrollment based on being a descendent of someone
on the base roll (created in 1958)?
During a period of time after the base roll was created the mothers blood quantum
was never decreased. If the mother was a half the child would be half. The current
enrollment committee brought it before the council and more recently increasing
everyone by one fourth.
This is such a momentous decision it is brought before the general membership
for discussion, consideration and a vote, hopefully, by having the public meetings
we will increase individual and collective understanding to this very important issue.
One thing for sure is we will need to protect and honor what we have inherited as
Red Lake Band members.
Come to the public meetings and engage in the discussion.

TRIBAL MEMBER COMMENTS FROM THE
PUBLIC MEETINGS REGARDING ENROLLMENT
and SURVEY RESULTS
Red Lake District Comments-25 surveys turned in- 40 attended
Start a 2010 Base Roll and do so every 5years
We need to stay away from numbers as much as possible.
Money is not worth our heritage.
We want to increase our tribal membership.
Very Good! It’s about time!
Mathematical Genocide
Declare all full blood if you decide to keep the quantum.
¼ is just as much as a full blood
Do all three: Full Blood, Anishinaabe-Ojibwe blood, Descendancy
It’s time to decolonize…and move forward as a nation.
We do not need to continue the #s game, the government tried- no need to carry
that forward-already failed.
No other nationality has to say they are “so much percentage” white, black, latino
etc.
Do we always have to go with numbers?
Why do we have a quantum? 50 years from now we will be in the same situation –
if we make everyone a full blood.
Are we/ or Why are we doing it now-referring to never reduce the mothers/fathers
blood
Disregard the Blood Quantum-Altogether we have the inherent right to determine
our own membership as Anishinaabe.
When all different bands have to compete for grants, this divides people further.
Descendancy
Topics and issues:
Split families ( members whose brothers or sisters are enrolled and they are not)
Genocide
Look at the #s compared to others
Individual present has been trying to get enrolled for 46 years
Rights of Grand parents and Children when visiting other parents reservation
regarding custody issues if the children are not enrolled/enrolled there.
Too many years- Do something now
Protect the Land Base
Elder wants to be cared for when she gets old
Everyone full blood
Blood quantum for college admissions and funding- need a statement of enrollment
Descendancy
Language is important
Blood Quantum cuts the tribe
Enroll the children
How many on Associated Members List

Immersion classes mandatory
I am a native Red Laker and I would like my children to be enrolled
Thank You
*As a sovereign nation we have the right to change our enrollment criteria and we
need to keep our land and culture intact
Current policy does need to change
I want my grandchildren and great grandchildren to have a place to say they belong
as being native with health and education benefits
Do away with the blood quantum-We’ve been broken up in pieces too long-
fractionation now is an insult!
Indian is an Indian no matter what tribe. Being Indian shouldn’t be questioned
No on a 2nd or 3rd choice-Descendancy #1
Children not born here as they should be
Birthing unit closed down in 1984, we want it back
Go by the mothers blood
Father lives off reservation would like his sons enrolled so he can bring them up to
hunt with him now that they are old enough.
Grandfather has a grandson who is 1/64th
Descendancy-Family Tree
Save reservation forever
Keeping reservation closed
Minneapolis-48 Survey responses-About 100 attendees
1/8 Red Lake- Use every effort –use state of the art technology-search ancestry-
more funding to hire experts
Stress and promote culture, language, history of Red Lake People
If parents and grand parents were raised in Red Lake then you’re a Red Laker.
All for one and one for all-descendancy
Split family some enrolled some not
Want grandchildren enrolled
Records are messed up. I lose blood every time I check with enrollment my blood
quantum goes down
DNA research as a solution and new enrollment system
Family Blood Quantum is in need of correction
Need correction ½ to full, my brothers and sisters are full
I hope this changes for the grandchildren
No blood quantum-One happy family
What is an associate member
It would be good to get something done differently
Do not let them take it off the ballot
I am seventy-four years old. I will be the last link to Red Lake. I married into another
reservation.
I am worried about blood quantum being watered down. Lets revisit this in twenty
years. Not now. Its too much work with not enough staff.
Definitely not descendency. I’ve seen it in other tribes and it was a disaster
Time is short, should have done something when it first came up
If we stop giving out payments and put money into services for the people it would
be a better use. Payments last for a couple days and services can last for years.
Membership grew because of payments.
Issue is huge. Important to us Red Lakers-Too little time to take in, process and
decide. We want what is best.
I belong to the reservation. I want myself and children to be enrolled.
A member spoke of wanting to be able to inherit their family farm, his generation
do not have enough blood quantum to qualify.
I hope this changes.
Want grandchildren enrolled
Duluth
A young girl talked about her father and that she is 7/16 blood quantum and would
like to be enrolled
Thank you for having meetings
Is considered half and was born in Ponemah

SURVEY RESULTS FROM
THE PUBLIC ENROLLMENT MEETINGS- Tribal members were asked to rank their
first (1), second(2) and third(3) choices on the
survey. Our first meeting was in Ponemah where we asked to rank in order their
choices 1 through 7. This was confusing and that is why we asked people for
their top three choices. The last column: Associated Members List was suggested
as an interim step without changing anything to track those who do not meet the
¼ Blood Quantum. People were given the choice of Yes(Y) or No (N)
