In a ruling Oct. 80, Ute Tribal Judge George Armstrong ordered the Uintah and Ouray Tribal Business Committee to enroll 12 children who were denied enrollment by the tribe in 1977. Parents of the children filed suit two years ago in Tribal Court against the Business Committee alter their enrollment, applications were turned down because the children did not meet the 58 Ute blood degree requirement In the ruling, the Judge also ordered the tribal finance officer to pay all benefits which were denied the children retroactive to the date of denial This payment would be made to the parents. The judge based his decision on the fact that the Constitution of the Ute Tribe does not specify blood degree, and it was never amended to coincide with an ordinance adopted in 1958 setting new membership require ments. This ordinance set the criteria that an individual must possess 58 degree Ute blood in order to be enrolled with the Ute Tribe. This, in effect, says that both parents must be Utes before their children can be accepted for enrollment Article II Section 1, of the Constitution reads: The membership of the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation shall consist as follows: (a) All persons of Indian blood whose names appear on the' official census roll of the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation as of July 1. 1935.
