The internal process through which the Tribe records and administers recognized membership under its own governing rules.
Supporting Membership is for individuals who want to support the Tribe's mission, participate in approved programs and events, receive communications, volunteer, and take part in community initiatives. Supporting Members are not entered in the Tribal Register merely by becoming supporters and do not receive a photo ID credential.
Registered (Citizen) Membership is the formal enrollment path. It includes a Registered Membership application, the Nationality Reclamation process, review under Tribal membership rules, and - only after approval - entry in the official Tribal Register and assignment of a Member Number.
Registration is more than possession of a card. Members are expected to understand the Tribe's principles, respect its governing rules, support the F.E.E.D. mission, conduct themselves responsibly, and contribute to the long-term welfare of the people.
The Member Portal is now structured around these two membership paths. Supporting Members receive a secure portal account and non-photo membership record. Registered applicants complete Nationality Reclamation and the formal enrollment process before any Registered Member Number or photo credential becomes available.
