A person who pays to join Cherokee nation and is barely 1/16th Native American can get money for it. But other people who are 1/4, 1/2, or 100% get absolutely nothing.
There's all this bad talk about blacks getting reparations but then someone who is obviously all Scottish or Irish gets grants/ and reparations after paying 50 bucks to join Cherokee nation.
I'm just saying this because I am 1/3 Chikasaw, 1/3 Choctaw, and 1/3 Ethiopian and no one is paying me anything. I should get reparations too.

Dee dee, are you serious?
I could just join Cherokee nation if I pay 50 and get some cash.
I think if anyone can get easy-free money they will.
By the way, I don't see reparations as easy money, because your ancestors had to suffer. And I am pretty sure they would rather see their grandchildren prosper rather than their oppressor's grandchildren piggy backing off of their misery.
But it is not fair if one cheats the system. They should have to do that genetics test.
But you sound smart, if they don't let you in the front door. Use your noggin girl, get those high grades if you don't already have them, and make your own millions. Then use your million to change the system. But don't forget to give some cash to me.

my daughter in law is part ? cherokee and I don't think she has ever heard of this. If true it is unfair but there is a lot of things unfair in the usa. I had to work at least 10 years to be eligible for s.s. a mexican can sneak across the border at night and be eligible.

Reparations is a very intricate subject matter, and unless someone can literally prove they deserve money for something they never did-leave it alone.

It does sound unfair. But their are other ways that you can get grants and scholarships. There is a great free website fastweb.com All you do is register your background and interests and they will email you all of the scholarships (hundreds) or grants that you are eligible for. I wish you well.
