I believe it does make a difference what degree of Cherokee you are . I think you have to be 1/4 or more to recieve benefits such as medical , school and job training. There is also housing assistance and food. Raymonda

Hello, as far as Cherokees are concerned the quantum does not matter. I am 1/16 and still receive medical/dental care and my son (1/32) received help with his college and gets the same medical care. In fact I worked at Hasting IHS hospital in Tahlequah and we treated people who were 1/512 Cherokee.

Excuse the quesiton, but did you have to prove the ancestry? Living in the area would help. When we lived in UT, we knew a Navajo minister who reached the Utes and Navajoes who came and went from the Reservation. They used our church on Sunday afternoons for a worship service.
