Trace your ancestors and present it to the concerned government office so that you can claim your benefits.

I believe that if you can show some indian heritage, you are allowed a tax exemption/tax assistance, but you would need to speak to the IRS about that. There are several programs that you can get grant money or loan money based on indian heritage as well. I'm pretty sure that you can get assistance only if you have the indian heritage and you meet the specific requirements for the assistance.

As usual, another question is asked that does not give sufficient information to answer correctly...
Were your parents Indians ???
If so, then you are , and are en tittled to whatever benefits are available...
If your parents are of non-Indian blood, then you are not en tittled to anything...
As a youngster, I lived on an Indian reservation in Alaska for a couple of years, but that does not make me an Indian....

Look up the "Bureau of Indian Affairs" office in your phone book. I'm sure that there's a whole set of defining criteria. Good luck to you.
