first the tribe that you would be part of would have to own a casino, then they would have to approve you as being part of the tribe, my friends tribe has a casino and they are very very well aware of who is and isnt part of the tribe, they even do DNA tests on anyone who has a baby and claims them to be part of the tribe

In oklahoma, everybody is Indian, except me. I've never seen so many pale, blonde-haired Indians before. Seems like everyone gets money for something. Recently I know some people who got $50,000 to fix up their house from their tribe (the house was worth about $60,000 when they bought it last year, average for an older home here, and probably not worth more than $75,000, no matter how much money they put into it). So far they put in new windows and doors throughout, and a new roof.

It depends on how much Native American is in your blood, 1/4 1/8 what.
And what tribe you are from. Different tribes have different arangements. You need to be registered with your tribe and have official papers.

no, but, if you can prove that you are of Native American decent than you can get a very large tax break.
