Selection will be made by drawing names from the list of interested Tribal citizens. The drawing is anticipated to take place by the July 7 Board of Directors meeting.
Tribal citizens who are interested in being considered should submit their name, enrollment number, contact information, a letter of intent and the election unit in which they reside to constitution@saulttribe.net. If selected you will be expected to be able to attend in person meetings in Sault Ste. Marie.

The Sault Tribe Enrollment Department is introducing a new, streamlined process for elders to claim their elder dividend check. From Aug. 1 through Oct. 1, 2026, an online application portal will be available. Elders will login and complete the process quickly and securely. Elder checks will be mailed in January 2027.
This new system is designed to reduce processing time, lower administrative costs, and make the application process more efficient. It will also help eliminate issues such as lost or delayed forms.
As the rollout approaches, updates and additional details will be shared in the tribal newspaper and online at www.saulttribe.com.
For those who are unable to access the online portal, a paper application will continue to be mailed to the address we have on file.
If your address changes after submitting your application, whether online or by mail, you must contact the Enrollment Office to ensure your information is updated. Call 906‑632‑8552 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
