Abstract
2 copies of a letter sent to The Department of Justice, in which Relander reports that three Wanapums have enrolled in the Yakima Tribe. Relander believes they had to enroll, or lose land. There are now five or six remaining Wanapums. Efforts are being made to enroll Wanapums and Wyampums. Relander estimates 40 to 60 remain unenrolled along the Mid-Columbias, and all are possibly eligible for enrollment. "It's a quiet, waiting 'game' if you want to call it that, with the choice being left up strictly to the Wanapums."
