Indians can easily become citizens of the United States.
Correct me if I’m wrong - but don’t a lot of Indians have dual citizenship with the US and their tribe?
On the other hand, if you want to join the most Indian tribes, you have to prove that your grandparents were members of the tribe. In fact, you can be kicked out of a tribe in a lot of places for not being Indian enough.
Half breeds need not apply!
But I’m lectured that only white people are racist and bigoted?

The Cherokees recently kicked out lots of Negro Indians who were descendents of slaves brought to Oklahoma by the Cherokee.
I’ve got Cherokees going to our church who, if you put a horned helmet on them, would look like blond viking raiders. They all have Cherokee Nation license plates.
