CRIT Posts Feb. 4 Enrollment Notice Detailing Tribal Eligibility, Contacts

The Colorado River Indian Tribes posted an enrollment notice through its official publication, the Manataba Messenger, advising tribal members about enrollment procedures and eligibility and pointing readers to a linked announcement titled "Ltrtomembership." The short bulletin, posted Feb. 4, 2026, is described by CRIT communications as a formal notice that provides contact guidance for tribal enrollment services.

The Manataba Messenger masthead identifies the paper as "The Official Publication of the Colorado River Indian Tribes" and lists Ivy Ledezma as Editor/Publisher. Contact and distribution details published with the masthead give readers multiple ways to follow up: Manataba Messenger, 26600 Mohave Road, Parker, Arizona 85344; message and telephone (520) 238-2969; and an email address at manatabamessenger@gmail.com. The paper also invites readers to its Facebook page under CRIT Manataba Messenger and notes that deadline for submittals is the 25th of every month.

The notice reiterates subscription and distribution options aimed at both off-reservation and local tribal members. For off-reservation members the masthead says: "NOTICE TO OFF-RESERVATION TRIBAL MEMBERS: You are eligible for a FREE subscription - just email your full name, address, phone number and tribal identification number to manatabamessenger@gmail.com or mail it in to Manataba Messenger, 26600 Mohave Road, Parker, Arizona 85344." For local members the paper advises: "NOTICE TO LOCAL TRIBAL MEMBERS: If you are 55 years old or older and having trouble getting your newspaper every month, you are eligible for a FREE subscription - just email your full name, address, phone number and tribal identification number to manatabamessenger@gmail.com or mail it in to Manataba Messenger, 26600 Mohave Road, Parker, Arizona 85344 or drop it off at the tribal headquarters MAIL ROOM. Thank you."

The published bulletin itself is short and directs readers to the CRIT Enrollment Department for the complete announcement via a link labeled "Ltrtomembership." The full linked text and any specific enrollment forms, deadlines, documentation lists, or Enrollment Department phone contacts were not included in the material made available with the notice. That absence means tribal members seeking to confirm eligibility rules, required documentation, or deadlines should follow the "Ltrtomembership" link on the Manataba Messenger page or contact the Manataba office directly at (520) 238-2969, by email at manatabamessenger@gmail.com, or via the CRIT Manataba Messenger Facebook page.

Enrollment roll notices have direct consequences for community life in La Paz County and along the river; enrollment determines who is counted in tribal membership rolls and affects eligibility for tribal services, representation and programs administered by CRIT. For many off-reservation members the Manataba subscription instructions remain a practical pathway to keep connected to tribal announcements. Expect follow-up postings or a full reproduction of the "Ltrtomembership" announcement as enrollment officers or CRIT communications provide additional details.
