Find out what tribe you're affiliated with and they can help you out.

In Arizona there is an American Indian Society. You need to contact them with proof of your heritage. You are entitled to some of that land. Good luck in your quest. By the way, you must pay the community back when you achieve your goal.

My best friend is Native American, and yes, you are entitled to certain benefits. You need to contact your tribal counsel for information. The monthly money may be false, but funding for college and other benefits are available to you, so pick up the phone and get going!!!! Good Luck!

Yes you can get those free along with other breaks. American Indians are a people that I have always had the upmost respect for.

you need to know which tribe you're from. then your ancestors must have been on the tribal register for a reservation. then you'll have to prove your lineage. its a time consuming drawn out process, but most tribes have registries online now.......good luck

You have to register with your tribe after finding out which one you're from. I'm from paiute. They suck for money.
