Registered American Indians??

They get checks when they turn 62.
If we lived in one of the 8(?) Countys in the U.P. my Dh and children could get a lot of things: Free health care, college, no gas tax, no cigarette tax (not that that matters to us), no sales tax, lower property tax and a refund on our income taxes.
They are making it very hard not to want to move up there, unfortunately there really isn't to many jobs up there. We are thinking about buying a home up there and living up there during the winter. (dh doesn't really work in the winters) Then maybe he can network and find a good job up there.


Like my Dh's tribe is only taking under 18 members. (That have enough Indian blood to qualify)
If your over 18 they only have open enrollment every couple years and you have to really jump threw hoops.

My Great-Grandparents passed for white and left the reservations behind. The lines of descent were not matrilineal (matrilineal descent was the only one that counted for these tribes). I was raised with the traditions and the cultures of only one of the four tribes I descended from; my Grandmother was half Irish half Penobscot, and my Grandfather was a quarter Mohawk and a mix of Scots, English, and French. We were raised Mohawk, Scots, and Irish.
When I research our genealogy, I concentrate on those three, because those are the cultures I learned.

Quoting msalice_21:
I get checks quartly throughout the year from my tribe. But we do have to be apart of the tribe and participate in meetings, events and stay drug free.

He's only 5 months. I just spoke to dh and asked him about it. He's apparently only 1/4 and doesn't think ds would qualify because his brother tried to register his son and wasn't able to.

You can call the number on the back of his card and find out.
