Topic	This Elizabeth Warren thing makes me think about my Native American status
Bio1590 10/16/18 9:47:38 PM #39:	darkphoenix181 posted... As someone who had native on both sides of my family, status with the nation is complicated. For instance my grandpa's mother would have need to file for membership for my grandpa to gain benefits from what I understand. That doesn't mean he is not native american. It means he and his mother didn't feel like going through the trouble of filing and following their rules. I have an uncle who is directly native american and from what I understand he also is not a member. (as in his mother is 100% native) There's people in Canada who are 100% Native that can't get Indian Status because their great-great-etc-etc-whatever didn't get status 150 years ago. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https://imgur.com/A0BErSV <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:910654406] in This Eliza...
