If your great-great-grandmother was an American Indian are you considered an Indian and what percentage?
Presuming that there is no other Indian blood in the lineage, you would be 1/16th American Indian. Whether or not you would be legally considered an Indian, depends on which tribe your G-Grandmother was enrolled in. All tribes have different requirements that would-be members need to meet for enrollment; including a minimum blood quantum. Assuming your specific tribe accepts a minimum Indian blood quantum of 1/16 or more, and all other requirements are met for enrollment- then yes, you're legally Indian.
