What is the percentage of Native American one must have to become a member of the Native American Church?

Question

I am 1/4 Native American and am curious to know how much Native American bloodline is required to join the Native American Church.

Please only answer if you have a knowledge of the subject.

Answer 1

The NAC is a religion, not a tribe. You don't need any quantum of Native American blood to join the NAC. The main acceptance issues usually concern how involved you are with your tribe's traditional beliefs. If you don't know anything about your tribe's, or any tribes, traditional beliefs then learn them. If you act like a white person, then you'll have problems with the NAC.

I personally wouldn't become involved in it though. It's Christianity-in-disguise and eschewed by many elder and young Native Americans whose tribe still know something about their traditional beliefs. Being full-blooded Navajo, my tribe has our own beliefs which those of us who know follow.

Answer 2

Native Americans are the only known ethnic group in the United States requiring a federal permit to practice their religion. The eagle feather law, (Title 50 Part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations), stipulates that only individuals of certifiable Native American ancestry enrolled in a federally-recognized tribe are legally authorized to obtain eagle feathers for religious or spiritual use. Native Americans and non-Native Americans frequently contest the value and validity of the eagle feather law, charging that the law is laden with discriminatory racial preferences and infringes on tribal sovereignty. The law does not allow Native Americans to give eagle feathers to non-Native Americans, a common modern and traditional practice. Many non-Native Americans have been adopted into Native American families, made tribal members and given eagle feathers.

Many Native Americans would describe their religious practices as a form of spirituality, rather than religion, although in practice the terms may sometimes be used interchangeably.

Some places say at least one-eighth, and another one-fourth.
