convincing evidence to approve the blood correction, per 81-250, for Taylor Jolene Signor. Through DNA testing

demonstrating 99.81% probability, Samuel PE Seyler

biological paternal uncle, verifying John Lewis Seylor

governed by the arbitration and dispute resolution provisions

contained in the Transaction Documents shall be honored in

strict accordance with their terms, (ii) the agreements to

arbitrate set forth in the Transaction Documents shall be

for an order confirming an arbitration award with respect to

a Claim (an “Arbitration Award”), and it is the intent of the

Colville Business Council, and the Colville Business

Council hereby provides in accordance with Section 2-2-201

of the Law and Order Code, that each Arbitration Award is

intended to be confirmed and reduced to a judgment by the

Tribal Court strictly as provided by the arbitrators and shall
