It's not just a matter of fractions any more. You have to establish you are the direct relative of a Cherokee who was listed on one of the government rolls taken around the turn of the last century (Dawes Rolls).
By the old way of keeping track if your mother was Cherokee, no matter what your father was, you were Cherokee, too. Chief John Ross had a Scottish father. Both his grandfathers were Scottish, too. Even though by fractions he was only 1/8 Cherokee and 7/8 Scottish, because his mother's mother's mother was Cherokee so was he.

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.
