It is my understanding that for a child to attend the old non-reservation (Indian) schools, such as the one in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, the Department of Indian Affairs used the following criteria for attending: A child living off reservation had to be at least 1/4 blood and certified by a disinterested party that the child was living as an Indian and a child living on the reservation having less then 1/4 blood could with special consideration attend. Does anyone have knowledge as to either the BIA or Tribal registrars are using the Indian school's criteria as supporting Blood quantum? Appreciate any information regarding this so as to clear the question from my mind. Thanks, Maryalice Weller
