How do people in the u.s get tribe status when they’re like 1/60th native, and I’m 57% and my government says that’s not enough?
57% of which tribe? With more than half, I would expect you to have a fairly strong upbringing in the tribe with various customs and your parents likely know how to get you enrolled.
In the US, it depends on the tribe and they decide how much you need. Some are stricter than others. Canada and the US have been competing for worst treatment of first nations for a long time.
Barker was apparently 1/8 native.
Explain to me how you’re 57%.
73 of his 128 great great great great great grandparents were native Americans.
Realistically, they probably got that number from 23andMe or similar.
Mine is 2.6% for Indigenous American, which is well within margin of error of what I heard from my family. (Note that those tests actually have very wide error bars anyway)
Bob Barker died yesterday? Damn, I heard nothing about it whatsoever.
