BY THE CONSTITUTION, RATIFIED SEPT. 29, 1999
Tribal Enrollment (Membership)
The following persons shall be eligible for membership in the Wyandotte Nation: PROVIDED, That such persons are United States citizens and not enrolled members of any other federally recognized tribe, nation, band, group or, community.
(a) All persons whose names appear on the official Census Roll of the Nation as of January 1, 1937;
(b) All issue by blood of a Wyandotte Nation tribal member listed in Section I (a), of this Article; and
(c) The degree of blood quantum of an individual proven to possess Wyandotte blood will not be a factor in determining Wyandotte membership.
New members are added one time a year during the Wyandotte Nation Annual Meeting. Completed applications must be received in the Enrollment office by Aug. 15 of each year in order to be considered for enrollment at the Annual Meeting, which is held the 2nd Saturday of each September.
The membership application must be completed and returned to this office with an ORIGINAL State Certified Birth Certificate. For applicants who cannot trace his/her ancestry to the 1937 base roll, proof of ancestry lies with the prospective enrollee. All membership applicants are subject to review by the Enrollment Committee.
Tags
Private passenger, motorcycle, handicapped and recreational vehicle tags are all available. (Oklahoma Indian Territory Only)
The tribal citizen's name MUST be on the Title at the time of assignment if there is a lien on the vehicle. The Tax Commission staff can not add or remove names to the title without the permission of the lending agency.
For New Tags you must have the following:
- Original State Title
- Insurance verification
- Wyandotte tribal membership card (not CDIB)
For renewals you must have the following:
- Insurance verification
RENEWALS AND NEW TAGS RECEIVED WITHOUT INSURANCE VERIFICATION WILL BE RETURNED!
Handicap Tags: Individuals who are interested in receiving a handicap license plate should either come by the office or call to obtain a form. The form will need to be completed by your primary care physician.
Indian Child Welfare
The 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act was designed to protect the Indian Family from unwarranted interference by the Anglo culture. When a child is involuntarily removed from his/her home, it is the intent of the “Act” to place a child with an immediate family member, an extended family member or a member of the child’s tribe/or other Indian Families.
The Benny Card
Supplemental Health Benefit
Each adult tribal citizen is eligible for a $1,500 benefit for medical/health related expenses. The maximum family benefit (adult tribal citizen with enrolled children, spouses are not covered) is $2,500.
The “Benny Card” can only be used at entities who have an approved IRS inventory control system in place. The program year is Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. You will not be able to use your debit card after this date for any expenses for the previous year. If you have expenses for that year which come in after the first of the year, you will need to pay them and file for reimbursement by Feb. 28. Beginning January 2024, the amounts increased to $1,500 for adults and $2,500 for families. Family Services staff can assist with basic questions regarding this program, but may refer tribal citizens to Trustmark (the company who manages this program for the Wyandotte Nation). You can call Trustmark at (877) 267-3359. Below is a link to a flyer with information regarding the Trustmark app. The app is a handy tool. You can check balances, file claims and view claim status.
