Answer 1

The place to begin when establishing one's blood quantum would be with the tribe itself.

Typically, the tribe has copies of the base rolls from which the membership of the tribe is drawn. These rolls usually include the person's name (English and Indian, if known), their age, where they were from, and their blood quantum.

Indian Ancestry - Enrollment in a Federally Recognized Tribe

Two common requirements for membership are:

- lineal decendency from someone named on the tribe's base roll

- or relationship to a tribal member who descended from someone named on the base roll.

(A "base roll" is the original list of members as designated in a tribal constitution or other document specifying enrollment criteria.)

Other conditions

- tribal blood quantum,

- tribal residency,

- or continued contact with the tribe
