Associate Members Page

 An Associate Member is an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians who wants to actively participate in research and initiatives that will improve the standard of living for American Indians. The MISSION driving the Tribal Nations Research Group is “To improve the quality of life for all tribal members through culturally-competent, custom-fit research”.  Associate Members can either directly or indirectly apply their knowledge, expertise, and experiences toward addressing the publicly stated mission.  An Associate Member can contribute independently or collaboratively with TNRG serving as the catalyst for positive change among the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians (TMBCI). 

We require that all associate members are enrolled members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians tribe. This assumes that all associate members will have an intrinsic motivation to positively improve the welfare of the TMBCI community.

We lend on our associate members in their areas of expertise and call on them often to help in different realms of our systems. We also promote their accomplishments on our website and at our events to help promote their careers.

All provided information by the associate member will be made public.
