Best Answer

Many Indian tribes keep registries on their members. For it to be successful, a tribe's members must register themselves.

If your relative is is registered with a tribe, you can do a internet search on the name of the tribe. Many tribes have websites that contain this information.

If the information is not available there, you should be able to find the Tribe's contact information on the website and give them a phone call or e-mail them and ask for assistance.

How do you contact the Bureau of Indian Affairs for help on proving your heritage?

The first step is to contact the tribal nation you believe you are affiliated with. For their phone number, simply do a web search for that tribe's council. The tribal council will either send you an application to be filled out for your CDIB card (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood), or direct you to a website where you can print out the application yourself. After this application is filled out by you, you will return it to the tribal council. They will review it, and if they find valid proof that you are of native descent, and a descendant of that tribal nation, they will then forward it on to the BIA. The process to receive the CDIB card from the BIA takes approximately 6 months. Please note that receiving a CDIB card is NOT ENROLLING you with a recognized tribe; it is simply a card stating how much native blood you have and of what tribe/tribe's the blood is of. To enroll with your specific tribe, you will have to follow a different set of procedures to prove blood-lineage. Contact your tribal council for instructions on how to do that. Also, please know that having a CDIB card DOES NOT entitle you to tribal benefits. Only being an enrolled member of the tribal nation does. Before you begin ANY of these aforementioned steps, you will need to gather STATE CERTIFIED copies of each birth and/or death certificates of each member of your family that dates back to your FIRST enrolled family member. Your will also need to be able to provide roll numbers and maiden names. Without these basic documents, the tribal nation/BIA will not even review your application. Be prepared for a time consuming process!

If your mother was registered as American Indian what do you need to apply?

This depends entirely on the requirements of the tribe in question. Matriarchal tribes will see her as the heir and you can be registered through her tribal offices; Patriarchal tribes will not see her as the sole designator of any tribal membership. Please note: Some tribes remove females from tribal roles if they marry outside the tribe. Again, you will have to check with her tribal services offices to find this answer.

How do you find out how much Indian blood you have?

There is no one place you can go to find out if you are "part Indian." You will have to research your mother's background and your father's background, and then their parents and on and on back in time to determine if you have any ancestor who came from India. If you do, then you are part Indian. If you are interested in learning if you are part American Indian, or Native American, you must still research your ancestors, but your path may be different and you may be able eventually to see if one of your ancestors was officially enrolled as a member of a tribe after it had come under the control of the US Government as the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
