Is there anyways I will be able to get a native american card ??

Question

My moms tribes is recognized in united states as well as canada.(she was born in canada) I was born in the united states, I dont know how to get my card because I am not affiliated with the tribe in the US.(as in we did not live in that reservation). It seems unfair that they would not give me a card even though I am from the same tribe. I need my card for reasons and it seems I wont get one. is there any way to get it?

Answer 1

You'd need to contact the tribe directly to find out your answer.  As each tribe is a sovereign nation, the tribe has the final say in who is and who isn't part of the tribe.  Whether you consider the tribe's enrollment criteria unfair or not is negligible.
