Can I go to Russia with my green card I am a resident of Florida I don't have a US passport?

If you have a valid passport from another country then yes, you may travel to Russia.

Please note:

For almost all countries, Russia requires a valid passport and visa to cross their border. Apply for the visa in advance. Russia really doesn't care about your US green card.

The USA recently (2008) changed their rules and require a valid passport to enter into the country by air from anywhere in the world. Your green card will serve as the visa. {Exception: US citizens may travel to Hawaii and US territories without a pasport.}

IF YOU MARRY A MEXICAN, HE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. THE ONLY THING THAT MARRAIGE ESTABLISHES WHEN YOU MARRY A MEXICAN IS PERMANENT RESIDENT ALIEN STATUS FOR HIM. HE CAN ONLY KEEP THIS IF YOU REMAIN MARRIED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS. IF HE WISHES TO BECOME A CITIZEN, HE MUST TAKE THE TEST AND PASS.

What is the process of getting a green card for Native Americans or percentage wise?

Native American Indians are in a unique position. They are not citizens of the United States, but they are not foreign either - so they cannot get (or apply) for a green card. In most cases Natives simply apply for Drivers Licenses, Social Security Cards, and other forms of US Identifications just like US Citizens do (federal laws make special provisions for natives). If they do not apply for, or get, these things then they are considered domestic nationals (a term in law) which changes their rights (under a legal framework).
