Wow. that looks like an awful lot of paperwork just to be called Native Indian. You are or you're not so what does a piece of paper mean. Sounds like money grabbing to me. This is what has caused a lot of us not to be able to trace our family line back just because someone wants the government to pay money to them. Our family always made their own way and didn't expect the government assistance. In fact, our families left those area early as they could see the handwriting on the wall. There were bigger opportunities for those who were willing to work for it. You girls have more patience that I have.
