I am native american, my grandmother is suppose to be full indian, from the blackfeet/blackfoot tribe......

Question

yet we are not registered. We have contacted the blackfeet tribe and they can not find any records on our last names. I want to register but i need proof, anyone have any ideas or helpful advice?

Answer 1

You should contact the tribe. That is pretty cool!

If you know their number, you can call them. I found blackfoot site of Minesota university, and it has some information, so you can ask faculty how to reach the tribe. Anthropologist may have more knowledge about blackfoot.

Answer 2

Contacting the tribe is putting the horse before the cart.

If grandma is actually full blood, then both her parents would be, and this should show up in census records. This is not that far back. You should also have birth/death certificates, and any of the other usual documents.

I can't answer re Blackfoot, but for Cherokee, if your ancestors were not enrolled, you would not qualify for enrollment either.  

Answer 3

What happens when you register?  

Answer 4

wow big whoop...a lot of people are part native american...and what is  your obsession

Answer 5

Maybe you could go to ancestry.com or something like that? I'm a quarter Native American myself... but I look too white to EVER prove it! lol!

But my dad, who is 1/2, looks very Native American.

Anyway, my sister found out a lot of information about our ancestry at that website.
