The United States of America fostered an Aryan (Nazi) policy that "white blood" breeds out inferior bloodlines; called a "Blood Quantum" test or theory. Using this theory Indians were seen to have had their bloodlines wiped out by interbreeding with "whites" and thereby reducing the amount of blood that was actually still "Indian."
This theory (Blood Quantum) is seen as racist by many modern tribes and ignored for any tribal determinations; some tribes do still use it however.


Answer 2:
I WAS TOLD THAT THE FATHER IS THE DOMINENT BLOOD CARRIER, & A FATHERS BLOODTYPE CHANGES THE MOTHERS . NO MATTER IF THE MOTHER IS NATIVE AMERICAN O BLOODED OR NOT... HER BLOOD WILL BE OVERSHADOWED BY THE MALE! LEAVING THE DNA STRAND STILL VISIBLE BUT NOW THE FATHERS IDENTIFICATION TAG! (for instance my moms is O-, but because of my father I am now O+)

Please note that "Blood types" and "blood typing" through parenthood has nothing to do with the the Political question (or laws) of "Blood Quantum" and "Certificate of Indian Blood." Blood Quantum and a Certificate of Indian Blood go back to political history definitions of "Patriation" (See: 8 United States Code) and its related laws and policies.

How much Indian ancestry to you have to have to be considered native American?

You need to have at least a quarter of your family tree that is Native American to be considered Native American. There are many people who live in the United States who have some Indian blood in their ancestry.


Is it not Fact that the ruin of the U.S.A Native Americans was the Alchohal brought by Europeans and Drugs destroying faster than other Bloodtypes the O blooded physical bodied People?

It is fact that the ruin of the U.S.A Native Americans was the program of systematic extermination of the Native American people by Europeans who wanted their land. Europeans gave them guns to kill each other, blankets infected with smallpox that killed them, and destroyed the buffalo the Native Americans ate. And finally, we sent the Army to kill them. When all that didn't work, the US government just moved the Native Americans onto the worst land they could find and called that land "Indian Reservations." Google "trail of tears." IIRC A blood is more common in the Native American population than is O. B blood is really rare.

There are around 30 million native Americans in Mexico compared to 3 million in the USA. This is about 30% of Mexico's population. About 60% are Indian/Spanish mix. 10% of Mexico's population is European descent. There are some exceptions but for the most part this is the rule of thumb.

If you're one-quarter Indian does that make you one?

According to Red Wolf, a native American, "MORE THAN 20 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE OF NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN MIXED BLOOD. IF YOU HAVE ONE DROP OF INDIAN BLOOD, YOU ARE INDIAN. WALK THE INDIAN PATH AS YOUR HEART FEELS". Don't forget all the Indians in Asian India. Whether you are a member of a particular ethnic group if you have one parent from that group, one grandparent, one great-grandparent, or "one drop of blood" (an obsolete and racist way of saying "any ancestry no matter how small") is a matter of how you and the culture you live in looks at things. There is no universal agreement on this point. In the days of American segregation, having a great-great-grandparent who was black would make you black - as long as your skin was also dark. The Nazis held that anyone was Jewish if they had one grandparent who was Jewish. Advocates for Native Americans, who want to preserve Native identity in the face of widespread intermarriage with descendants of Europeans over the centuries, will say that anyone with any native ancestry is a native American - thus leaving it to the individual to discover and assert that connection. On the other hand, US government criteria for recognizing a Native American for purposes of receiving government benefits is more restrictive.
