“Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shores, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century
forward, blood flowed in battles of racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its Indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to
reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Documents:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We are not at liberty to give documents out to tribal members
other than your packet. This information on this page will explain.
Tribal Documents:
At times we receive people who sign up with our tribe in order to get documents in an attempt to get a new identity. While this may play well for you, please note that we are not at liberty to provide any special or extra documents to you. If you are a tribal member and have paid your enrollment fee which is renewable every 3 to 5 years unless you will receive your Tribal packet and inside that packet will be your tribal information document, your tribal ID and your tribal Certificate. These documents prove that you are a member of the tribe. There is a small fee to reproduce any of those documents. Please call the tribal office for those prices or check the web site for this information on the menu.
Naming ceremony documents:
The naming ceremony is a very important part of our tribe. We do not use made up names and we do not use names that people have chosen for themselves or has been given by a family or friend or a previous Native ceremony or person. If you would like to keep that name there is no need for you to go through the naming ceremony.
There is a donation required for the naming ceremony of $10.00, that will allow you to participate in the naming ceremony. If your donation is $25 or more you will also receive not only the ceremony but also a letter of naming ceremony and a certificate you can hang on your wall that shows everyone that you have gone through a real native American ceremony. You must be a member of the tribe in order to go through the naming ceremony.
Once you have gone trough the naming ceremony you may use your documents to change your name to your new name or simply use your American given name and place your new native name in-between your first and last name if you chose to do so we will then change your name on your document to reflect this. Example [ Johnny Eaglefeather Langdon ] This is only an example of how your certificate and or tribal ID can look like if you so ask. In order to get a new tribal ID however there is a small fee.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask your local tribal leader in your state or you may call the tribal office. The number is on the back of your tribal ID. You may also email us at [email protected]
Many blessings
