The BIA guidelines state that any BIA recognized tribe is made up of its own citizens, who by proxy are BIA recognized tribal members. To translate: The BIA requires tribes to become US States (by legal definitions) and its citizens to be US Citizens (who surrender all rights to any treaty held by the tribe. The BIA does not, and cannot, define who is a member of those tribes.
Please note that this is in contrast to Federal Law (Handbook on Federal Indian Law, Cohen)
