Ey everyone. So I have a lot if Cherokee blood but I not anyone I know is a card carrying member. Does anyone know how it is possible that one would prove that they have Cherokee blood and become inducted into the tribe?

Thanks!

To become a member of the Cherokee nation, you have to be able to show that a direct ancestor was listed on the Dawes Roll. http://www.cherokee.org/Services/TribalCitizenship.aspx
