My momma says 1/200 ( she read somewhere she said.) But that sounds WAY too low. I wanna say it's 1/32 or something, but I'm not sure and I haven't been able to find it yet.

I am part Cherokee, I'm about 1/32 or 1/64. But there is no way I could prove that I was anyway, unless it was through DNA testing, but I doubt they accept that. But I'm just curious, and I just wanna prove my mom wrong lol. I don't need the benefits but it'd be cool to get some.

Once your Native American ancestry is proven and your quantum blood is determined, your Native American ancestry enables you and possibly other American Indian descendants who are related to you to qualify for tribal membership and receive benefits from such tribes as the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole and Chickasaw Indians.
Native American research & Indian genealogy is unique when compared to other types of genealogical research. Most of the records available for researching Native American ancestry or Indian ancestry and genealogy are derived from records of the U.S. Government. The early Indian rolls and Native American censuses, applications and enrollment cards, annuity and allotment records, etc., resulted from Indian claims against the United States. In order to obtain benefits awarded by the U.S. Court of Claims, Indians and Native Americans were required to prove their Native American ancestry and quantum blood requirements (i.e. percentage or degree of Indian and Native American blood required) pertaining to a particular tribe such as Cherokee, Crow, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, etc. Once their Native American ancestry was proved, these Native American Indians were entitled to land allotments or annuities awarded by the U.S. Court of Claims.

I am certainly no authority on this, but I have read that it is 1/8 and that a Cherokee ancestor must have been on a reservation. This implies that the Cherokee left behind, on the east coast, cannot be verified.

The tribe that I belong to calls so which you would be a million/4. There are different tribes that purely require you to be a million/8 yet i do no longer think of which you will get carry of any college investment, etc. i think of that being a million/8 purely gets you a tribal club card.

If you're just looking for benefits or handouts, just go apply for food stamps. You don't have to be an indian at all.

I wouldn't quit your day job until you find out. If your serious and want to receive benefits find out for yourself and tell the rest of us because I sure could use some money! lol
