How do I Claim my Indian Heritage?

Enrollment in Native American heritage varies from tribe to tribe, but two requirements are the usual standard for claiming your tribe. First, you must be a descendent from someone listed on the tribe's base roll or be a descendent of someone married to a Native American on the base roll. Secondly, tribal residency or contact with your tribe are fairly common requirements. Once you have done your genealogical research, contact your tribe directly for the necessary steps to be claimed.
