Sounds something like our son-in-law: Chiricahua Apache/Kiowa/Comanche and French, but not a member of any tribe.

First of all the Mississippi Choctaw will not accept anyone who is 50% or under Choctaw.

If a mix-blood knows his/her language or custom, is that mixed blood any less Indian than the full blood who doesn't speak his/her language? > > But here is even a more interesting scenario. I have a friend who is a full-blooded Indian, but a mix blood of three different tribes. He married a full-blooded Indian who is also a tribal mix. Their children are full blooded Indians, but can not belong to any tribe bacause thier blood quantum's are too marginal. How do we categorize these Indians? > Raven > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
