%’s don’t matter. It only applies if the family member through time have applied and gotten their cards. Kind of like knowing somebody that knows somebody etc.
I know full blooded Cherokee and Choctaw that can’t get cards because the family before them didn’t get them.

I also know folks whiter than me that get full benefits.

And for the record, not all card carrying Indians get checks from the casinos. That’s a even tighter group of folks.
The casinos do help pay for things for them though. They just don’t get royalties.

I lived by the Michigan potowatomi tribe and did a health study on their tribe. I went to meet a couple of their elders, they were pretty interesting people.

Reason i asked was my daughters grandmother on her father's side was adopted and said to be Cherokee. She looked Cherokee. My daughter sent for dna test to find she has zero Indian blood. She was really shocked, so was her dad's family.

Really?
That’s odd. I would think the majority of the US population has some Indian blood in them.

They are indeed interesting people. I have a lot of Native Indian friends. They have told me some of their old secrets and beliefs that were passed down.

How do they have to prove it grand? I'm interested.

Basically, a family member has to be on the original tribal rolls and the future person has to prove direct family lineage to that person. Once a person (my boss for instance) has family on board, it's a simple process to get direct lineage their Tribal ID since the legwork has been done already.

Hmmm. Who would've thunk it. Biggest stadium in TX seats just 8,000. Thought lots of high school stadiums in TX sat more than 8K. Guess I was mistaken.

You know, the snarky rants on semantics do make you look even more petty.

I like it when his lies and embellishments are exposed. I believe it to be his "promoter rhetoric" in this case. I wish they would listen to the socialists on the other side of the aisle as closely.

So the Elizabeth Warren story was a thing that was actually on the news.

What a time to be alive... 🤦🏻‍♂️

I can't think of what political end it serves by releasing it now. I can only think she is baiting trump to go off at one of his little pep rallies.
