If they aren’t on the Dawes Roll they aren’t. That was the cut off.
You can claim anything you want but without being traced to the Dawes Roll you are not part of the Five Civilized Tribes. You may want to be but you aren’t so far as the BIA is concerned or the Tribes.
On the other hand, I’m feeling really black today so I can’t be a racist. Tomorrow I may feel brown or Asian just whatever suits the need at the moment.
I was born a poor black child so I wants me some reparations. Etc.
What a bunch of hooey.
Thanks for the info—not to mention a good laugh. Don’t hold your breath for those reparations—the Left knows how to play this game, and conservatives always get stuck holding the bag. ;)
