What is an enrolled citizen?Slatersteven (talk) 15:28, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

tidied that up, per source.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:45, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Would still like to know what it means.Slatersteven (talk) 16:47, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

From context, it presumably means someone who appears on the voting rolls as a resident of a place.--Auric talk 21:55, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

It's whether one is considered a member of a Native American tribe. Blood quantum laws covers it in detail; tribal disenrollment explains some of it in a much shorter article. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 07:44, 16 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Then we need some kind of link so the reader can understand.Slatersteven (talk) 09:14, 16 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

And it needs to be something about Canadian Law, not US law.Slatersteven (talk) 18:07, 16 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Why does it need to be about Canadian Law, not US law? BlackcurrantTea (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

My mistake it should be about US law, not Canadian law.Slatersteven (talk) 08:05, 17 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

The most significant thing to note is that Alaskan tribes are strongly differentiated from almost all other Native peoples in the US. They do not enjoy a government-to-government relationship with the US federal government.
