Subject: researching native american indian heritage online

Comanche Family

Some American Indian tribes are claiming you as little as 1/64th native American even if you were able to prove that your ancestors were enslaved by East Coast tribes. Or traveled the trail of Tears.

Why ? Because of the basic tribal census (non genetic) you can go to college free if you can prove @1/4 tribal native on the official Dawes Rolls. A special count was taken at the turn of the century as the frontier was closing called the Dawes Rolls. If you were listed as a native American there - you belong. Unfortunately a count was not taken at the beginning of Indian removal. The Natives were not planning to be removed even though pre Civil War the East Coast Tribes particularly the Cherokee thought they were going to be compensated and joined the Confederacy which promised them their ancestral lands. We all know how that turned out.
