Answer 1

Try calling the Crow tribe. It looks like you have to give up the first tribal membership before you can enroll in the Crow tribe, so thats a little more complicated than if you weren't ever a member of another tribe.

My advice is call the Crow and see what they want you to do, then call the Sisseton Wahpeton and see how to disenroll. I don't know how disenrollment is done, sorry.

This link from the Crow tribal website has some basic info on how to enroll and the form you need to send them, what papers you need as proof, etc.

The number on their website is at the very bottom right of the page. Its the only one I could see, it doesn't look like there is a specific phone # listed for enrollment info.

Answer 2

you have to be on the Dawes roll, which shows that you are registered native american.  But to change tribes I think you have to have some proof of your mothers heritage..birth cert or something.
