Membership

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.

PROVIDE WHAT IS RELEVANT. PROTECT WHAT IS SENSITIVE.

The membership application is designed to collect the information reasonably necessary for an organizational membership review while avoiding unnecessary collection of highly sensitive identity documents through the ordinary public form.

Application Requirements

PROVIDE WHAT IS RELEVANT. PROTECT WHAT IS SENSITIVE.

Applicants may be asked for information reasonably necessary to evaluate the applicable organizational membership pathway.

APPLICATION MATERIALS

  • completed membership application;
  • electronic signature;
  • three references;
  • information supporting the applicable membership pathway;
  • ancestry, lineage, family, historical, community, adoption, sponsorship, or service information where relevant;
  • clarification or verification reasonably necessary to establish material information.

A membership photograph may be requested later through an authorized secure process.

DO NOT SUBMIT THROUGH THE PUBLIC FORM

  • Social Security numbers or cards;
  • driver's-license or passport scans;
  • birth-certificate scans;
  • CDIB or tribal-ID images or enrollment numbers;
  • genetic files or medical records;
  • financial-account information.

If sensitive supporting documentation is later legitimately required, it must be requested through an authorized secure process.

Providing materially false or intentionally misleading information may result in denial, suspension, or membership review.

Minor Applicants

THE PUBLIC APPLICATION IS FOR ADULTS.

The standard public Membership Application is for applicants 18 years of age or older.

Where Apache Bronco permits participation or membership by a minor, parent or legal-guardian authorization and the appropriate separate process are required.

Reference Verification

THREE REFERENCES. ONE PART OF A COMPLETE REVIEW.

References provide additional information that may help Apache Bronco evaluate an application responsibly. They are only one component of the complete application record and do not independently determine Apache Bronco membership, Native identity, tribal citizenship, or tribal enrollment.

  1. Community / Character
  2. Professional / Organizational
  3. Family / Cultural / Community Connection

Applicants should provide only references who have agreed to be contacted.
