My son, we just took guardianship of him(at his choice) and he has an indian card. He does not know any of his past. Mom, passed, dad, jail. Any way, how do I find out what kind of benefits he would receive from this? Can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance!!
Which "Indian card"? Is this a BIA card-- the CDIB card?
Contact the issuer of the card and ask for information. They should be a file to access. It should have his tribal affiliation and ancestors listed. Then you can check to see if he is an enrolled member with that nation.
Each nation is completely different with regard to benefits and enrollment requirements. Some also require residence on the reservation to be a recipient of any benefits.
In the Summer we are frequently thought to be of hispanic origin, .
Yes, because Hispanics are Native Americans mixed with Europeans.
Hispanic here and my DNA test results are as follows:
61% European
20% Native American
19% Middle Eastern
Why does everyone always seem to have a 'Cherokee' ancestor? Is it due to the fact that they seem to be the most 'popular' Native american nation- I mean I rarely hear any one say that they are Paiute or Crow or Ute.
Aren't there other Native American nations/tribes that one could belong to?

These people all have "Cherokee" ancestors because they are all LYING. These people are known as $5. These are people who's ancestors paid $5 to be listed on the Indian Census called the Dawes Rolls during the early 1900s. When the word got out that the government was going to give resources and land to Indians, white people started pretending to be Native American. That's why 95% of people claiming Native American today don't have ANY real native blood in them at all.

I did my math wrong, we're actually 100.3% Native American. Sorry about the mistake.
