3rd Annual Tribal Enrollment and Enhanced Tribal Card Program Conference

Casino Del Sol Resort and Conference Center,
Tucson, AZ

December 8th – 10th, 2026

Sacred Path, an authorized consulting service operated by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe’s Enrollment Department, will host the 3rd Annual Tribal Enrollment and Enhanced Tribal Card Program Conference. 

We invite you to participate in an engaging two-and-a-half-day conference featuring timely conversations that are helping shape the future of Indian Country—with a strong emphasis on supporting Enrollment Departments and the essential work they carry out.

This unique gathering brings together leaders, practitioners, and colleagues from across Indian Country to exchange ideas, share practical approaches, and explore solutions you can apply in your day-to-day work. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn directly from national experts, including representatives from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (DHS/CBP), who will provide valuable perspective and hands-on training.

Conference Highlights Include: 

  • Records Management: Improve how you organize, protect, and preserve vital tribal records. 
    • DNA & Tribal Enrollment: Examine the role and implications of DNA in enrollment decisions and tribal sovereignty. 
    • Tribal Constitution & Governance: Explore how governing documents influence enrollment authority and policy. 
    • Enhanced Tribal Internal Policy Review: Strengthen internal procedures to promote clarity, fairness, and accountability. 

    Throughout the conference, participants will take part in interactive sessions, skill-building opportunities, and collaborative discussions designed to support your work and your community. 

    Whether your goal is to enhance record systems, refine enrollment practices, navigate emerging tools like DNA, or align policies with your Nation’s priorities, this conference provides the insight and connections to help you move forward. 

    Join us for meaningful dialogue, shared learning, and collaboration that supports the future of Indian Country.
