http://www.familysearch.org/\n\nIt is free and very easy to use. And if you're ever in the Salt Lake City area feel free to check out the family history library. It is incredible. There are also smaller family history libraries in LDS chapels and stake houses. \nCheck them out. They are also free, and they have people there who will help you. Good Luck in your endeavors.

There are grants for being Native American -- if you are an American Indian entrepreneur "located in disadvantaged and under-served Indian reservations and tribal areas within the U.S." \n\nGrant # 59.052 Native American Economic Development Assistance aims to "fund economic development projects that will provide small business opportunities and empower American Indians, Native Alaskans and Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs located in disadvantaged and under-served Indian reservations and tribal areas within the U.S."\n\nTo apply for this grant, go to Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov . They have everything you need to apply for grants. \n\nThe first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process\n\n1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number\n2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)\n3. Authorize your Organization's Representatives\n4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)\n\nYou will first be asked to find the grant number of the grant that you wish to apply for (in this instance #59.052). See if you would qualify for this grant. Remember though that you must be in a disadvantaged and under-served Indian reservations and tribal areas to qualify \n\nNote though that it is normally hard to find grants to start a business -- even for females and minorities. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html\n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.

That was very well written.  You sound like you are wise beyond your years and I appreciate your candidness here.  Thank you!  We are all Native Americans if we were born here, I agree with you!

Start here: http://www.native-languages.org/blackfoot_culture.htm\n\nAmerican Indians relied on oral traditions, so you will have to identify your particular tribe and see if anyone knows its oral history. You will not find much useful help on Yahoo Answers about your particular family history.

Do you have Native American backround?  A full rundown of tribal membership arcana would fill several volumes, as each of the nation's 562 federally recognized tribes has its own rules, typically outlined in their respective constitutions. In general, however, tribes use either the blood quantum system or the descent system. The former approach uses an ancestry threshold to determine an applicant's fitness for membership. Many tribes require that aspirants possess a certain degree, or percentage, of the relevant "Indian blood," in addition to satisfying a few other ancestry requirements. The Nez Perce, for example, will grant membership only to those "who are at least one fourth degree Nez Perce Indian ancestry born to a member of the Nez Perce Tribe." So, an applicant with one biological parent who was half Nez Perce by blood, as well as a tribal member, would have a good shot at making the rolls, too.\n\nTo determine blood quantum, many tribes ask applicants to obtain a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood, issued by the BIA. Those seeking a CDIB must provide the government with primary sources, such as birth certificates and marriage records, to prove their level of Native American ancestry. The CDIB, or "white card," then lists the precise percentage of the bearer's blood that is Indian. If the required threshold is met, the hopeful can then apply directly to a tribe using the blood quantum system.\n\nYou can also get information from the DOI - indian ancestry see link below

Historically, some Native American shamans had visions of Jesus and spoke with him, receiving messages from him. The remained as they were, loyal to their medicine ways. I believe in Shamanism, so I can relate. Maybe you just need to find a Christian church that's open minded enough to allow for such without question. Maybe you could talk to ministers of several different denominations (NOT fundamentalists) and see what they say. That might be a good starting point. And you could kind of "feel" out any certain group via a web search first, prior to making that phone call to talk with a pastor. (One suggestion would be the United Methodist church. They're pretty open.) Another thought is that you can accept Jesus if that's what you feel in your heart you ought to do and then just not join any church. Or join the one he was a member of. ;-) Let me know when you locate his membership certificate, OK? Another option might be a religion other than Christianism that accepts Jesus. Ahhh, hadn't thought about THAT, had you? Hinduism accepts most world religious leaders as being valid. There's another option open to you. Most people, Christians are one group anyway, think that you can only accept ONE version of the truth and so must be a member of only one faith. Who made up that rule? Hey, you might just make the Guinness Book of World Records as the FIRST Shamanist/Christian/Hindu/or-?. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

You might want to try Trinity Broadcasting Network on-line.  He and Sting do televangelical broadcasts all the time.  One of them has Sting conducting an interview with Shawn.
