Native Bidaské: The Truth About Tribal Disenrollment

Native News Online | November 3, 2025



What happens when a tribe kicks out its people?

In this powerful Native Bidaské episode, filmmaker Ryan Flynn joins host Kaili Berg to discuss “You’re No Indian”, a new documentary exposing the growing crisis of tribal disenrollment.

Disenrollment isn’t just about per-cap payments—it’s about identity, sovereignty, and survival. Some tribal members have lost everything: their language, their homes, even their lives.

Join us as we explore:
🔹 The emotional and cultural toll of disenrollment
🔹 Why some tribal leaders are silencing opposition
🔹 How this crisis connects to genocide, colonization, and casino money
🔹 What YOU can do to support Native people fighting back

    The original “rules” of enrollment and recognition were a continuation of the Federal government’s efforts to erase Indigenous culture. Sadly, the impact on Tribal culture is destructive.

    The next film, which could be an easy parallel for the first one, would be CLOSING enrollment. I am more than willing to talk about my family's personal experience with not being able to enroll. My cousin, who was long-lost, has been found and wants to enroll in our tribe…but enrollment is CLOSED! WTH!!

    When a fellow Native is behind this, it's even worse! My tribe's history includes backstabbing within the tribe as well, from Chiefs who went behind the backs of other chiefs and made deals with the Europeans…which is why there is an entire department fighting to get funds from broking treaties.
