How much native american do I have to have in me to get a Status card?

I tried googling "Blood quantum laws" but it didn't really help me...





I just want to know, how much native does someone have to half in them to get a status card?


Is it Half %26amp; up, or 1 quarter %26amp; up?|||Just prove to them you can drink a bottle of Lysol spray and they will know that you are indian.|||It's mainly determined by the tribe. Some don't use the blood quantum law, while others use it and the fraction changes with each tribe. Some demand 1/2, 1/4, and 1/6 degree blood quantum. Here's the website that has a list of tribes and which blood quantum they require.

Here's a website that tells you all steps you have to take to register for a CDIB card.

This is the website that you can look at to see the qualifications for having a Native American status.

Hope this helps!|||WE don't do blood quantum here in Canada....which is where I am assuming you are, as you used Status rather than CDIB.



Each Nation/Band sets their own requirements for membership. Mine is third generation, but a parent must also be registered. What Band are you? That information would help greatly.



As for governmental requirements, here they are:



~you were eligible before the Act was changed in 1985;

~you lost your registration as a result of your marriage to a non-Indian man;

~you lost your registration because your father was not an Indian;

~you lost your registration because you or your parents applied to give up registration and First Nation membership through the process known as "enfranchisement"; or

~both your parents are eligible for registration for any reason.
