Tribal Membership

Eligibility Requirements for Tribal Membership
 
 

ATTENTION, TRIBAL ROLLS ARE CLOSED
 
The Pee Dee Indian Tribe of South Carolina has Closed the Tribal Rolls, This is temporary and the roll will open again once the Tribal Council has made a decision on what the new requirement for membership will be.
 
There will be a  change in how far back a person can trace their ancesty for membership. The complete information will be posted as soon as it is known.
 
The roll was closed on August 29, 09 and anyone that had an application in review will still be reviewed, but none recieved after this date will be reviewed. If you recieved an application from the tribe post marked today, 09-01-09 it is ok, because your application came before the 29th of August.
 
Those members out there that have not came to update their files can still come and once again be active tribal members. Everyone does not have computer access, so you folk that have computers pass this word on. If you have an e-mail address please send it to the tribe, so we can keep you updated on things with the tribe.
 

 TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION UPDATE
 
The Pee Dee Indian Tribe of SC is still conducting an Indian survey, which is finding those tribal members that have their names on the old tribal roll, but there is no information file for those names. The program is having good results.  There has been 385 members found and are verified to be Indian. Don't wait for the survey taker to find you, contact the tribal office if you know you are the roll, or think you should be.
 
There were many tribal members that had a family Genealogy done by the Tribe back in the 90's, when the tribe applied for Federal Recognition and that information was lost, stolen, or something happened to those files and charts. Great News!  We have found some old Family Genealogy charts that had some references to census records, we researched each one of those charts and found 551 names that are verified to be Indian. The only thing you need to do now is complete a tribal information update form and get your new card. We have no way of knowing if you are alive or have moved to a new address. These names are over 10 to 15 years old and your children are now grown up and have children. We are trying hard to get this Tribal Roll updated with the people that want to be on it.  It is my duty as the Chief of this tribe to never believe that the Indians who live in our  communities do not want this tribe to grow and become for the people what it can be. I ask each one out there to attend the meetings and find out what is being done to make things better for all Indians. Please don't listen to the rumors you hear, come find out for yourself. If you want to be a Tribal Council member, or even run for Chief, then do it. Your voice can be heard if you want it to be heard.
 
Again, I thank those who have stuck by me during the past three years. I will be up for re-election in November of this year and if the people want to re-elect me, I will continue to serve the members of this tribe, however if some one defeats me, then I will pledge my support to that person. This tribe is now in the hands of the tribal members and the tribal council members. I only work with the authority given to me by the Tribal Council. It is no longer a one man show or family controlled. We do allow two family members to be on the council, but that would not continue if there were tribal members to fill the seats. The tribe will hold Elections in November of 2008, 2009, and 2010. The positions up for election will be posted 60 days in advance to allow for people to be nominated for those seats.
 
Thank you for visiting this site. The site is for tribal members and all that want to know about the Pee Dee Indians of SC
