As in the beginning of every year there are a lot of items to go over so set the date and time aside to attend. Each tribe should be represented so contact your chief and ensure someone will be in attendance. Registration With the beginning of a new IP/IG year, all members new and returning must register with the program as soon as possible.

Registration forms are available on the Nation website and attached here. Please turn in your registration with payment to your chief or drop off at Y front desk and be sure the "Hold Harmless Agreement" (located at bottom of registration form) is signed.
