Instructions for Building a Council Mailer
Write & Print Your Letter
1. Download the Word Template — Download the word template on this page and duplicate the document to make your own edits. Rename it with the Tribe name for your own records.
Do not start a new document within Word, the template has been formatted to print on the Blue Stone Letterhead.
2. Personalize Your Letter — The word template has been partially pre-written but requires your customization for each Tribe.
The first paragraph must be rewritten and personalized by you. Start by introducing yourself and your position at Blue Stone. Note something about your experience in Indian Country such as if you are part of a Tribe or any work you’ve done for Tribes. Finally and most importantly, find a connection with the Tribe based off your research or personal experience with the Tribe.
The second and third paragraphs focus on the tool and Blue Stone. These paragraphs do not require changes but we recommend personalizing them if it makes sense for the Tribe. IMPORTANT
3. Print on the Blue Stone Letterhead – Insert the letterhead in your printer and print your letter. If you do not have a printer, print your letter at a local Staples, FedEx, library etc.
