Constitutional Revisions!

The Tribal Council has been hard at work on proposed revisions to the Constitution for the past six months. Key proposed changes include expanding the definition of Tribal jurisdiction to include our ancestral territory and reinstating District Elections, consistent with the intent of the Karuk governing body before adoption of the current BIA Constitution. Your feedback and participation in these important changes are needed!

The Tribal Council has scheduled three tribal community meetings for Happy Camp, Yreka, and Orleans. All eligible voters are encouraged to attend the meetings and give their valuable input. Tribal members and Registered Descendents only, please. If there are other interested persons who have questions about the Karuk Tribe's jurisdiction, they are welcome to contact us with their questions or to set up a meeting with Council. The meeting dates, times, and locations for the Membership meetings are as follows:

  Monday, September 12, 2005 from 5 to 7 PM at the Yreka Housing Authority Office;
  Monday, September 19, 2005 from 5 to 7 PM in the Multi-Purpose Room (Old Gymnasium); and Monday, September 26, 2005 from 5 to 7 PM in the DNR Community Room.
