BIA Miami Agency Meets with Tribal Council
On Thursday, August 14, the BIA Miami Agency superintendent, Paul Yates, and members of his staff met with the Delaware Tribal Council to make introductions and discuss the recent assignment of the Delaware Tribe to the Miami Agency. The Tribe becomes the 10th tribe included in this agency. The Delaware Tribe is a good match to the other tribes since we have had a good relationship with them for 150 years. Additionally we have been invited to join their Consortium of Tribes that meet monthly in Miami.
Update Your Cobell Status
Follow this link and select Cherokee Delaware Tribe (we don’t like it either) to find a list of people the Cobell lawyers are deeming “Lost,” then follow the instructions on the website to correct your status. Please remember that the Garden City Group attorneys got their info from the Department of Interior, NOT from the Tribe. You must contact them, NOT us.

We are finding that a vast number of these names are also on the Delaware Tribe’s Missing Address List, most due to the fact that they had married and taken a different name. So please everyone take a look at this site and email us your new address at updates@delawaretribe.org if you happen to be on the list.

Fond Farewell to Chris Miller
It is a sad day as we bid farewell to friend and colleague Chris Miller. Many of you have gotten to know Chris through his service to the Tribe in the Housing Department, as an Administrative Assistant, and most recently as Enrollment Clerk. In his three short years here he has made himself such an integral part the Tribe’s day-to-day functions and he has touched many of your lives through his dedication, caring and knowledge. We know he will be sorely missed by all but we must congratulate Chris on the opportunity he’s been offered and wish him the best as he moves on to another chapter of his life, and, as he has been there for all of us so too will we continue to be there for him. Good luck Chris!
