A person must be enrolled with a US Federally Recognized Tribe in order to be considered an American Indian by law. There is no set percentage required as each tribe has its own enrollment requirements. BTW blood quantum is actually measured in fractions, not percents

To qualify as a Native American for certain benefits or tribal membership, individuals typically need to meet specific criteria set by the tribe or organization. These criteria may vary, but generally, most tribes require a minimum percentage of Native American ancestry, often referred to as blood quantum. The required percentage can vary greatly among tribes, ranging from 1/4 to 1/16 or even lower. It is important to consult with the specific tribe or organization in question for accurate information on their eligibility requirements.
