Talk:Robert J. Conley

"Enrolled"?
Is this some US legal distinction? Enrolled as opposed to what?

Why can't he just be called a member? Period. No qualifying adjective. Varlaam (talk) 23:22, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "Enrolled" is the most commonly used term for actually being a legal member of the tribe, in this case, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokees Indians, a federally recognized Indian tribe, and thus, yes, Robert J. Conley is Native American and legally recognized as such by the US and by Cherokee tribes. As the cited reference states. "Enrolled" is the appropriate term, as opposed to being an "associate member" which does not mean a person is Native by blood or have legal status as an Indian. The $10 comment was unbelievably insulting and uncalled for. -Uyvsdi (talk) 02:45, 22 July 2010 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * I (who have no connection with Varlaam) see no insult, nor, indeed, any comment at all. There are three questions, asking (very reasonably) why the world "enrolled" is used in this context. Thanks to Uyvsdi for the interesting and informative reply. Paulannis (talk) 15:30, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
