TRIBAL GROUP LIFE INSURANCE

	A unique group life insurance offering for tribal members and shareholders

Our tribal group life policy is designed with you in mind and provides distinct features such as: Coverage for all tribal members and shareholders; membership status is determined by the tribe. Guaranteed issue coverage for all members and shareholders. Naming the tribe as beneficiary.¹ No required waiver of Sovereign Nation immunity. No age reduction schedules.² Supplemental coverage giving members and shareholders flexibility to increase their individual coverage amounts. Because the needs of each tribe are different, every policy we write is unique to the membership guidelines set by the tribe, rancheria or pueblo.
