I have anscestry showing that my GrandFather on my Mothers side was 50 % Cherokee, Also it it possible with further investigation that my GrandMother on the same side was 50% Monacan. It this enough to claim native American status. It is also possible that on my GrandFathers side that he had relatives that were on the trail of tears. I am direct decentent of Jonathan England who lived on the Cherokee lands, place called Burke, NC. I have pondered this question for many years?
You need to identify which tribe you descend from and contact them directly. Speak with the Enrollment Department. Each tribe has its own requirements for enrollment. You may or may not meet the requirements of the tribe from which you descend.
One has to be able to prove their native bloodline with an approved paper trail, and apply to their respective tribe (assuming the rolls are open to new members). Recently, some DNA research companies have offered tests to document native ancestors. You can start by contacting the tribe you wish to join and find their citizenship requirements. Be prepared to research your geneology back to 1900 or so and link it together with birth/death certificates, censuses, social security records, afadavits, etc.
You either have to be born into a tribe, or some tribes accept visitors, and if you stay long enough, you may just become apart of them. NO YOU DONT. To be an Indian you need to go to either a dunkin donuts or seven 11 every day, eat curry, and read for seven days and 13 hours. ALso you need to find yourself a hot girlfriend.
You can go to the website for Bureau Indian Affairs.
You can look in your own state to see Intertribal Native Enrollment Agency.
You do need to look up your ancestry.No only that need a copy of your ID and a separate picture of yourself. On the ancestry you look up at Ancestry This more acurate than any website. I hope this will help people.Instead of making jokes.
You will have to get a census number and Certificate of Indian Blood (CIB) through your agency's Vital Records Office. You will need your birth certificate and your parent's CIB's or census numbers to prove your blood quantum. Choose the office closest to your hometown,

It is my understanding that you must first apply to the tribal govenment of the CHippewa Nation for recongnition as eligible for membership in the tribe.
