Do any of you SW have Native American bloodlines?

[bullfrog123]

I myself have Klamath/Modock lines in me. Originating from far northern Cal and Southern Oregon. My background started on the res in Klamath Falls, Or. (ROCK ON Captain Jack!!), then migrated to Id. Then German blood was introduced,-----thus here I am.

Just wondering.

Yurok/Hupa

Crecent city/Klamath river at the mouth of the ocean, yeah where we do all the commercial salmon fishing.

[ArcticBoy]

[bonz50]

Just cause you had a little indian "in ya" dont make ya part indian

 

[winter brew]

No, but I had a car that didn't run parked in my yard for awhile.

 

[xrated]

No, but I know some "indians"(meaning recognized by the tribe) who are whiter then my pasty red haired ace

 

[Snow Fox]

If i remember right you have to have 1/64 blood to be recognized by the tribe to get the benefits and such.....that is not very much. Me personally my ancestory is native american, german, irish, dutch, swede, swiss, english, austrian, french & scotch.......I guess that makes me an American.

Maybe, I know the great tribes of MN are so damned crooked that membership is decided by the tribal council. I know indians who can trace back to the chiefs on treaties, and they aren't "members" but the ones whiter then me are....

 

[decarls]

red haired or not, just having a 55760 zip growing up makes you at least 1/3 indian! by the way... congrats on the kid.

xrated,

Do they still get there monthly goverment checks? I think the 1/64 is a federal standard through the BIA, or at least it used to be. Doesn't surprise me though, seems the way now.
He!!, if that's the case I should join one of the federally recognized tribes, get a montly check, free house, and not have to pay taxes. I could then could get share of the casino money as well.........man, I'm doing it all wrong.

 

[hymark860]
