What are the benefits of being enrolled in an Indian tribe?
Although Native Americans can, of course, also get general welfare-related benefits, food stamps, and healthcare coverage, there are options specific to their standing as a member of one of the 570+ recognized Native American tribes. To receive anything, the individual needs to be enrolled as a tribal member.
What percent of Native American do you have to be to get benefits?
Most tribes require a specific percentage of Native “blood,” called blood quantum, in addition to being able to document which tribal member you descend from. Some tribes require as much as 25% Native heritage, and most require at least 1/16th Native heritage, which is one great-great grandparent.
