My Son-in-law is an American Indian. He has blond hair and blue eyes. I was suspicious despite the fact they live in Oklahoma.

A few days ago, tho my daughter mentioned that she only has health insurance for herself and their children as her husband can go to the Indian Hospital for free.

He must be 1/32. I think that is the cut off for most tribes. Here are some interesting things I've found out while researching a family member's Indian heritage: In Oklahoma there are quite a few people who are 1/32 or more Indian. But because of the treatment of Indian people in the early years many didn't admit their Indian blood. And those that did said they were less than they really were, because if you were full blood the government might appoint someone to oversee your affairs. So now people who are really truly Indian can't prove it because their ancestor's were never entered on the rolls and some that can prove it can't prove they are a high enough percentage to get tribal benefits.
