If your grandmother was part Indian and your great-grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian - would you be considered an Indian?

Partly, Yes.
More detail:
If you are 1/16 Native American (Indian), then you are considered Indian enough to qualify for Indian benefits, depending on your state's guidelines.
For example, if your great grandmother was full Cherokee, then your grandmother would have been 1/2 Indian. This would have made your parent 1/4 Indian, and you 1/8 Indian, and your children 1/16 Indian.
But in order to apply for, and receive certain Native American benefits, you must have proof of your heritage.
