Answer: The Lumbee tribe has a very interesting and compelling story. It took them entire generations to get federal recognition and since getting that recognition, they are struggling. Because of their struggles, there is a lot that you can research and report that will be different than other tribes. They are also one of the very few tribes that will accept people whose ancestors were members of other tribes. A friend of mine who was a Chippewa and Cherokee from Michigan got recognized by the Lumbee tribe a couple of years ago and was really excited about being part of something both new and full of history at the same time.

Question: what makes you eligible for a Indian tribe? I'm just trying to get an understanding of this motion. http://www.narf.org/icwa/forms/12.pdf My son has some Indian in him from his great grandparents, and I want to know is he considered a part of a tribe?

Answer: The first requirement to being eligible for tribal enrollment is being a direct, lineal descedant of a person listed on a tribe's base roll. That is an absolute for all tribes. Beyond that, other requirements vary tribe to tribe. For example, many tribes (but not all) have a minimum blood quantum requirement, commonly 1/4 but sometimes 1/8 or lower; some tribes are matrilineal or patrilineal meaning eligibility for being part of the tribe is passed on by mothers only or by fathers only, and there are sometimes residency requirements. One is not considered to be part of the tribe until they are enrolled with the tribe. At this point, if your son is not already enrolled, he is not considered to be part of the tribe. To find out if your son is eligible for enrollment you need to contact the tribe from which he descends through his great grandparents. His great grandparents MUST be listed on the tribe's base roll in order for your son to even have a chance for enrollment. Other requirements are up to the tribe itself so you're going to ask them to find out what the requirements are and if your son qualifies for enrollment. Regarding the ICWA document, a person must be legally defined as an American Indian in order to qualify for ICWA. That is, they must be enrolled in a federally recognized tribe or eligible for enrollment in a federally recognized tribe. (See above.) If the child has American Indian ancestry but is not enrolled or eligible for enrollment in a federally recognized tribe they do not meet the definition of an "Indian child" under ICWA. The "federally recognized tribe" part is important too as there are many groups that call themselves tribes that are not federally recognized. Being a member of one of these groups is similar to being a member of your local grocery store's frequent shopper club and hold no legal weight, especially when it comes to meeting the legal definition of an American Indian/Indian child.

Question: what are the cherokee indian tribe best at? What is the cherokee indian tribe most know for?

Answer: The ones who are dentists are really good at fixing teeth. The ones that are mechanics are really good at fixing cars. The ones who are CPAs are really good at accounting. Tiger Woods, who is only part, plays a mean game of golf. Michelle Zen, who is only part, is really good at making hearts race, if they belong to men who are past puberty and not dead yet. Use Google, Bing or Yahoo images to see. Actually, if she walked by in a low-cut dress, someone who had only been dead a couple of hours would probably summon up enough energy to try to peek down her neck. You can't really assign characteristics to whole ethnic groups. Most Huguenots are warm, wise, witty, tolerant and have big noses, but there are exceptions.

Question: What indian tribe is known for the belief that the land isn't for sale and is meant for sharing? I'm going to do a speech and I want to include this idea and want to credit the particular tribe. I've heard about indians who were confused by settlers who said they want to buy their land and couldn't understand because they thought of land as free for everyone. Is this an idea shared by many indians or a particular group? Thank you for reading and answering. hi jesusfreak, i gave you a thumbs up for your response, hehe, how weird

Answer: Most indigenous tribes in the Americas did not have personal property, but communal property within the tribal/clan village. However, they did have personal belongings and lodging. Great Plains tribes were mainly nomadic, so land ownership was not needed. But the people of the plains did have personal property: horses, tepees, and such. The idea of the land being free to everyone is a myth. A tribe/clan may hold the land on a communal basis, but they fought to be other tribes out. The Iroquois Confederation was formed to maintain peace through its member nations, but also to protect those tribes against others, especially the Huron. The question of the selling of property comes from who in the tribe had the right to sell the land to Europeans. As the land was held communally, the entire tribe should have agreed to the sale. >"antthenut"- No Native American cities or settlements? What about Taos, Cahokia, Manchu Picu, and the great cities of the Aztecs and Mayans. Plus there were permanent and semi-permanent settlements on both coasts. Not all native people were nomadic.

Question: How is the Cherokee Indian tribe different and similar today?? I am helping my daughter do research on the Cherokee Indians and she needs to know the similarities and differences of the tribes today from earlier times.

Answer: Today many Cherokees are of mixed heritage. Especially those found on the East Coast. Most Cherokee in earlier times lived in the North Carolina region and spoke one Cherokee language. Now, many also live in Oklahoma (see Trail of Tears for more information on how they got there) and speak two Cherokee dialects in addition to English. The Cherokee were once a sovereign nation and still are, although completely surrounded by the United States. - stolen from wikipedia: Inheritance was largely matrilineal, and kinship and clan membership was of primary importance until around 1810, when the seven Cherokee clans began the abolition of blood vengeance by giving the sacred duty to the new Cherokee National government. Clans formally relinquished judicial responsibilities by the 1820s when the Cherokee Supreme Court was established. When in 1825, the National Council extended citizenship to biracial children of Cherokee men, the matrilineal definition of clans was broken and clan membership no longer defined Cherokee citizenship.

Answer: Check with the Antique Roadshow if they have one in your town or a town near by. Because, it is free and they have the best Professional appraisers to give the exact value of your good.You also can look into the Goggle search and see if you can find one or you can pay Goggle to answer your question and it does cost that much. A museum curator also can help you and I am not sure he or she will do for nothing. Good luck and do not sell it quick until you find the right buyer. I saw one piece of Indian artifact it was Worth's 1 million dollar from the Antique Road show.

Question: How can i find out what band of an indian tribe I come from? I am a descendant of the Wintun tribe in Northern Ca. I am trying to find out which particular band that my ancestors originated from. Any ideas on how to do that? Thats an idea. I was researching the tribe and came accross a band of Wintuns called the Rumsey band. There are only 33 tribal members and I thought it would be neat to find out if that's where my great, great, grandmother was from.

Answer: DNA can't even break it down to which tribe you descend from, let alone which band. Only the tribal councils and the Bureau of Indian Affairs records at the National Archives in California holds those records. NARA requires a trip there to view the records in person. The tribal councils just require letters with specific information on the people you're researching...name, parents, DOB, marriage, date of death, etc

Question: How did the Ottawa Indian tribe get food? How did they get food? What did they eat? And any more facts on the tribe will be appreciated.

Question: What indian tribe would he have been from? My great grandfather's name was Samuel Beal. He came from the Reidsville, NC area and I was told he was an indian. Some say Cherokee, but they are not sure. Any ideas?

Answer: If your grandfather was a member of the prevalent Indian tribe in the Reidsville area of North Carolina, then he would have been from the Catawaba and Carolina Siouan Indian tribe. There are of course, other possibilities in North Carolina. There were Cherokee, Tuscarora, Tutelo and Croatan.
