enrollee: a person who is certified by the United States Government as being a Federally recognized Indian member of a Federally Recognized Indian Tribe. Being an enrollee requires being listed on an Indian Tribal Roll drawn up under U.S. Government supervision, either directly by the B.I.A., or through the Indian Tribal Governments operating under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior under 1934 I.R.A. boilerplate constitutions approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Although by the 1930's, when the I.R.A. "base rolls" were being compiled, some enrollees were included as Indians by virtue of Indian blood quantum calculated in terms of /256th's, some Federal Indian programs require that the enrollee have at least 1/4 Indian blood quantum, which has no relationship to having at least one grandparent who was an Aboriginal Indigenous person. c.f. blood quantum (MD) LINK BELOW- www.maquah.net/We_Have_The_Right_To_Exist/WeHaveTheRight_26Glossary.html |

Land, Lineage and Lawsuits by Daune Stinson The Lower Sioux Indian Community was the first in Minnesota to become a Dakota tribal government, and may be the first to bring about its own demise. The community, organized as a tribe in 1936, has seen many changes over the years. One change that couldn’t have been predicted is the potential dismantling of that community, by its own council and community. A lawsuit winding its way through the U.S. Court of Federal Claims put in motion many changes for the Lower Sioux community; some that are not welcomed by everyone in that community or others in Minnesota (MD) www.thecirclenews.org/cover.html |

In 1829 a Dakota Mdewakanton village was located on the west shore of a lake that would be known as Lake Calhoun in the area that would become Minneapolis. Cloud Man, also known as Man-of-the-Sky (Ma-hpi-ya-wi-ca-sta), was chief of this village, known as Reyataotonwe (Inland Village) or Eatonville (for John H. Eaton). Cloud Man agreed with the Fort Snelling Indian Agent, Lawrence Taliaferro, to have his band learn to farm using the plow. www.mpls.lib.mn.us/history/eh1.asp |

In his acceptance Lawrence cited that Indian gaming in Minnesota is a $3 billion a year industry that is benefiting only a fraction of the 60,000 people enrolled in one of the 11 tribes. He pointed out that the two wealthiest tribes -- with casinos in or near the Twin Cities area -- earn annual net profits of roughly $600,000,000 yet only recognize about 600 enrolled members "If gaming is ever going to change the economic and social conditions for Indian people as a whole we need to make it a more equitable system, and that starts with making it more accountable," Lawrence said. "Having the audit data available is a big step toward that end." www.press-on.net/award2003.html |

Just a story I found Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers, where he located. My grandmother, Ha-za-ho-ta-win, was a full-blood of the Medawakanton Band of the Sioux Tribe of Indians. My father, Joseph Buisson, born near Montreal, Canada, was connected with the American Fur Company, with headquarters at Mendota, Minnesota, which point was for many years the chief distributing depot of the American Fur Company, from which the Indian trade conducted by that company on the upper Mississippi was directed. I was born December 8, 1842, at Wabasha, Minnesota, then Indian country, and resided thereat until fourteen years of age, when I was sent to school at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sd/native/sioux10.txt |
