Depends on the state.  IIRC, Oklahoma requires 12.5% (one eighth) for benefits.

Depends on the tribe- anythring from 1/2 to simply proving you had a NA ancestor.

I'm 1/16th Cherokee, but I don't think I get to open any casinos...

My family's ancestral run in's with the Indians tended to result in death (on our side) rather than sex  At least the ones they wrote about.  =D

If you are a Senate candidate from Massachusetts the percent may vary...

Yeah.  At least around here it looks like it may even vary from band to band within a tribe.  The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe requires an enrolled parent plus 25% while it looks like the Leech Lake Band only requires an enrolled parent with Indian blood.

If you are serious about it find the website for the tribe or band your are interested in and look for the "Enrollments" link for specifics.

At least in Minnesota tribes also generate significant revenue from running casinos.

I don't think they get any special money from the feds, but from income the tribes raise, either through casinos or selling of natural resources on tribal lands.

They receive federal funding as a tribe, which they may or may not distribute to members directly or through goods and services. In addition to the casino/mineral rights/etc money.

The Blackfeet in Montana, who live on one of the poorest reservations, get an annual annuity from the tribe. Usually just in time for Christmas. Most years I was there it was 50 dollars, but because of oil and gas leases it jumped all the way to 100 dollars last year. Not quite enough payout for me to try and claim any Blackfeet heritage and move back to Browning.  =|

From what I understand the Cherokees require proof of lineage to a person on the original rolls.

My family has been in Virginia for quite near 400 years. Pretty sure I can find enough in the DNA to be the next black president or at least get some free shyt as a member of an oppressed minority.

Seeing as Chicago is in the USA and I was born there, I'm 100% Native American.

Back when I was in college, a whole lot of people with similar ancestry also asserted their Native Americanhood on the financial aid applications.   ;)

I understand these days, on some forms they want to know tribal affiliations as well.
