Each tribe sets it's own standard as to what makes someone eligible for tribal enrollment. They are often called "blood quantum laws". For example, to be Navajo you must have proof of one enrolled Navajo grandparent (1/4), for the Mississippi Choctaw you must have one parent (1/2), for the Suquamish you need one great grandparent (1/8), and the Caddo require 1/16th. You would need birth certificates. There is no DNA way. A few require proof of direct lineal descent instead, such as the Osage .

The vast majority of tribes are very poor and it would not make you "entitled" to any money. Most tribes who have any "extra" money use it for social services and economic development for their members. Pine Ridge for example has a unemployment rate of 80-90% and a per capita income of $4,000. The Navajo is per capita is $7000. A very few, small tribes with East coast casinos and some of the Alaska Native corporations and some others have dividend payouts to members.
