Trans Indigenous Subsistence hunting

I will miss this. Some of my (appearing and culturally white) cousins won’t. Like them, it is time for many of you and your white great grandchildren to plan a winter range hunt on federal lands south of the Yellowstone. It is your birthright.

The Crow Tribe Executive Branch is proposing to make all enrolled Tribal members 100% Crow blood, as membership dwindles.

I listened to Tim McGraw in the past and my baby she’s a one of a kind. Does my self-identify as an Indian Outlaw get me anywhere with this?

Weird in a time when other tribes have been dis enrolling people

Sounds like some tensions might be raised when them 1/16th blood Crows start collectin' per capita income.

I have a blonde haired/blue eyed buddy that was talking about getting his official tribal card for some tribe (Chickasaw?) in OK. Him and his brother did it, but neither one of them has any affiliation whatsoever (and I know them pretty well).

My assumption is that it's some sort of legal scam where they can claim some benefit?

wardens are going to be confused when guys with blonde hair and blue eyes are claiming they have a treaty right to hunt

I talked to tribal members with cards in Idaho that had red hair and were full ginger

I read this article a few days ago. It's interesting how tribal members have different viewpoints about this. Those on the outside are for it but those already full tribal members are against it because they will have to divide the $$ pie even more.
Also where would the threshold of blood percentage be? Could someone just claim to be Crow?
I have a brother in law who always claimed to be native american for as long as I've known him, 40+ years. Well turns out after ancestry testing he is ZERO % native american.

My wife has a similar story. Her horrible, child abandoning, hoe-hoping grand mother claimed to be Shawnee from Kentucky her whole life and there WAS a little facial business to my FIL that SEEMED a little native. My son did Ancestry (after I did it) and came up with the same ZERO....similar to mine with a little more Eastern European/Russian on her side. We are about the whitest folks around......My DNA goes from Poland west through Germany to Scotland/UK, farthest south Austria, across to Iceland. Turns out her grandmother was just a mean drunk with no excuses
