If you are just trying to use some far off native blood to get free money don't. Its an insult to all the REAL Native people. And also to even get money for college you ususally have to be an enrolled member of a tribe or be 1/4 native blood.

Native American.\n\nGeographic Overview \n\nWhen complete these Histories will encompass approximately 240 tribal histories (contact to 1900). They will be limited to the lower 48 states of the U.S. but also include those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that had important roles (Huron, Micmac, Assiniboine, etc.).\n\nhttp://www.dickshovel.com/up.html\n\nNATIVE AMERICAN SITES ON THE INTERNET\n\nhttp://www.cumbavac.org/Native_American.htm\n\nhttp://www.multcolib.org/homework/natamhc.html#itribes\n\nhttp://americanindian.net/links7.html\n\nhttp://www.promotega.org/fld30036/index.html\n\nhttp://members.aol.com/TeacherNet/Native.html\n\nhttp://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=ab05\n\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/1naind.html\n\nhttp://www.kstrom.net/isk/mainmenu.html#buttons\n\nhttp://members.tripod.com/~RFester/index.html\n\nNative American Best General Resource Sites\n\nhttp://lone-eagles.com/na-general.htm\n\n____________________________________________________________\n\nhttp://cherokeehistory.com/\n\nhttp://cherokeehistory.com/histlink.html\n\nhttp://travelsd.com/onlyinsd/sioux/tribes/index.asp\n\nhttp://www.texasindians.com/cadd\n\nImages of Native Americans\n\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&q=north+american+indians+&btnG=Search\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

...but if you want to be SURE you're not entitled - check with the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior.\nhttp://www.doi.gov/bureau-indian-affairs.html\n\nAs a citizen, you are always welcome to write to any branch of government and ask them questions within their areas of responsibility...  Find a "Contact Us" on their website and drop them a line... (and may I suggest that if you want them to take is seriously, use capital letters, punctuation, spell-check, and complete sentences in your letter).  Note: it may take up to a month or so for them to answer but if you asked a reasonable question in a reasonable way, they'll answer you.

Even a certificate in a frame is not adequate proof of a college degree.  Due to federal privacy laws, you can not just call a college or university to obtain information about a student or former student's grades, degrees or other records.  The end all and be all of proof of a degree is an official transcript.  The official transcript must be requested by the former student in writing or in person.  There are two types of Transcripts official and unofficial.  The official ones are sent via sealed envelope by the college.

Why not contact the Tribal Council - They should have records which will be able to help you.\n\nhttp://www.cherokee.org/

Take the proof of your allotment of seat from the university. Contact any local bank(local to the university). Have any property of yours, then be ready with necessary documents. Then, you will surely get a loan from the bank.

You have to have a proof of residence (Passport, Visa to name a few) Though your tuition for college will be higher than anyone else.

If you are sincere in your quest, talk to some residents in the Native American Indian Reservation nearest to your place... Perhaps someone there could be of help to you.\n\nOther than that, try to join a sweat lodge.\n\nPeace be with you.

To become a registered member of a Native tribe is a long and difficult process.  You have to prove with birth records or other court records that you are a real Native and show your ancestral lineage.  I am a registered member of the Chickahominy Native tribe of Eastern Virginia and it does not offer you any benefits, you do not get any special privileges because you are formally acknowledge as a member.\n\nSome tribes are more strict than others, where you have to bring in you parents and grandparents (if still alive) and lay out a family tree where they will then do a serious check on every person in your tree.\n\nIf you are further than 3 generations from having one FULL Native grandparent, I would say don't waist your time going through the process.  You will always know in your heart that you have some Native blood, but that's the extent of it.  If you don't practice any of your tribes Native traditions or rituals I would also say let it go.\n\nAlso on a side note, 75% of African-Americans have Native American Ancestry, but they have not registered because it is hard to prove without formal court or birth documents and it doesn't entitled them to anything.\n\nHope this information helps.\n\nAlso as someone said, DNA results are unreliable and negligible and wont get you membership.  Anyone can have traces of Native Blood.  75% of African-Americans do.

go to social security office with birth certificate and another form of id, fill out application. They will mail you one in the mail, but if you need a printout just to show your number they can give you what they call a "numi".

Contact the county offices in the county that you were born in. They keep records of them. You have to pay to get a copy but you can get one.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question very well but I know that there are states out there that do.  In North Carolina, for example, you have to prove residency and identity.  It would be really hard, almost impossible, in fact, to have the items on their list of accepted documents unless you are legally in the country.  If you weren't born in the US or Canada then you have to have multiple things like valid passports and school records.

It should say it isn't required.  You can get benefits sometimes based on ethnicity and the school can get 'diversity credit' sometimes.  They can ask and you can just not fill that out. Then they will assume you are white.

I am .8 percent Native American. I just missed the amount you need to be to get all education free. My grandpa got college completely free though! I think the tribe was not well known so I can't tell you w/o lying.

i m assuming tht u r an Indian and not an american coz only indians talk abt being in 12th....\n\nanyway, the standard way for seeking admission is to take entrance exams like AIEEE, IIT, MAHE, etc etc. as the exams r long over and results already out and if u havent qualified (or for tht matter, havent given the exams), then the only option left to u is to gain a seat via donation or via management quota. Certain RECs will accept u.
