BIA Publishes Rules On Mohave Enrollment

Media Contact: Lovett 202/343-7445
For Immediate Release: October 13, 1981

The Bureau of Indian Affairs is publishing in the Federal Register October 14, a proposed rule to establish procedures for the preparation of a roll of Mohave Indian descendants enrolled as members of the Colorado River Indian Tribes. The Mohave Indians placed on this roll would share with the members of the Fort Mohave Indian Tribe an award of $468,358 from the Indian Claims Commission.

According to the proposed rule, the BIA's Colorado River Agency Superintendent will publish a list of persons determined as meeting the qualifications for enrollment. Persons who believe they are qualified but are not on the list could then appeal the omission within thirty days and submit information supporting their claim.

Comments on the proposed rule should be sent to the Division of Tribal Government Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1951 Constitution Avenue, Washington, D. C. 20245
