Many of the federally recognized tribes require 1/16 for them to recognize you as a member. Some require 1/4. Some also require you to be able to speak the language.
Since US Census categorization is based on SELF-recognition, you can call yourself Native American with no proof at all, or, even if a DNA test shows no lineage, you can still identify with 0%.
The percentage for an ethical self-identification depends on oneâs ethics.
âI will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows youâre an Indian,â he said. âI have a feeling she will say no.â
Not if she chose her tester, after all, who knows how many tests she had done until she got the results she wanted, in addition, the test she did take didnât remotely show she was a Native American.
Personally I find the whole thing stupid, I highly doubt anyone is going to base their vote on whether she is or isnât. Her grandfather could be Sitting Bull and she isnât getting my vote.
