There are two distinct applications you may need. The Registration Application is for individuals who do not yet have a status number. The SCIS Application is for citizens who already have a Huu-ay-aht First Nation status number and are applying for a status card.
Within the Huu-ay-aht First Nation, there are two designated IRAs, a primary and a backup, who are available to assist all citizens in ensuring that their applications are completed accurately and with the proper documentation. The primary IRA is Alexis Young, Deputy Law Clerk (alexis.y@huuayaht.org).
