heard that some Tribes are changing the “blood quantum” requirement
from ¼ to less than that for tribal enrollment. The logic I’ve heard for
this is because many Native Americans are marrying people of other ethnic
backgrounds, consequently fewer of their children are certifiably of ¼ Native
American heritage. Thus, some tribes are decreasing in numbers. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=flushleft><font size=4 color=blue face="Palatino Linotype"><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype";color:blue'>I did a
little internet search regarding blood quantum and tribal enrollment
requirements, and found that the quantum requirement varies greatly from Tribe
to Tribe. An article from the National Indian Law Library says the following:
“Tribal Requirements: Indian Tribes are sovereign and set their own
rules regarding tribal enrollment and membership. In order to find out what
requirements your Tribe has, contact the Tribe's main office or tribal
enrollment office.” (See the entire article at <u>http://www.narf.org/nill/resources/enrollment.htm</u>.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
