Final closeout shows 115,302 disenrolled during unwinding, aided by prior reporting gaps. About 60 percent left due to paperwork errors, and total enrollment sits around 217,840, about 85,000 below a year prior.

The logo was designed by a Blackfeet Nation member and linked to Walter Wetzel, a Blackfeet leader. Davies cites personal ties as a factor while Indian Country debates the move.
