If you do the research online, Ms. Harjo's Blood Quantum comes out to this,

1/8 Creek (at most) - She says he was "Creek" - but she also says her father's grandfather was the "full blooded" Creek.1/4 Cherokee (at most) - She's somewhat undecided here. In some articles she claims her mother is "half" and in some articles "part" Cherokee.

1/8 Irish

1/8 French

...and part "African American" through Osceola (I thought Osceola was SEMINOLE not Creek!)

I don't know. Someone ask her her real blood quantum. This will clear things up! And make sure she has a blood quantum card from her reservation to prove it! Ha ha!!

That would be most likely the Mashatunket, Pequot tribe in Connecticut. They own and operate the world's largest and most successful ( and gorgeous) casino. It is now a mile long. Incidentally, before they built the casino, they were also one of the very poorest tribes on the entire eastcoast.

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!

Is Jamie Sams really native American?

She claims to be of Cherokee and Seneca decent and there have been no counter claims against her statements (IE: No official of either tribe has said differently). It is also important to note that "Native American" is not the "blood quantum" or other such things, is is more of a way that you live your life. From the titles of her books (taken at face value) she is most likely living on those paths. See her website linked below.

How does one find out or where does go to find out if and how much Indian blood the?

Different tribes have different measures in place to make these determinations, and you would need a basis to understand 'how' that tribe looks at its relations. For example: One tribe only sees MALE descendants, another only sees FEMALE descendants, by registered blood quantum - while on the other hand there are other tribes that see an "Indian" as his social status within the community in which they live and ignore the DNA or Blood Quantum questions altogether.


Will blood samples prove your native American heritage?

DNA analysis of blood samples can help determine your heritage, but comparison to a particular tribe or family would be necessary for you to lay any claims of parentage. Typically the US government will only recognize your lineage if you can prove that one of your great grandparents were 50% Native to a particular tribe or tribal group. Each tribe has their own determinations.
