It has come to the attention of the Tribe that the Garden City Group, the law firm handling the Cobell payouts, has published a list of some 2000 Delaware who they have deemed “Whereabouts Unknown”. Although we are attempting to go through this list and notify as many of you as possible it is strongly advised that you check it out yourselves. The list may be found online at indiantrust where you will select first Oklahoma and then “Cherokee Delaware Tribe.” The full details of the settlement may also be read here. For those that may not have access to the internet the Garden City Group may be reached by telephone at (800) 961-6109. Please be aware that our Tribal Enrollment staff does NOT have access to your IIM (Individual Indian Money) account numbers. These can only be obtained by contacting either the Cherokee Nations IIM Coordinator, Jolinda Ballou, or by calling the Office of the Special Trustee at (888) 678-6836.
