We ask roster applicants to provide documentation of social and familial ties to a tribal community that you claim, which claims you in return, and that is recognized by others across time.
US & Canadian Tribes:
Members or descendants from federally or state recognized tribes in the US or Canada Tribes, may submit a tribal ID card, a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood card, a letter from a tribe verifying descendancy, or genealogical research linking you back to a tribal member. Documentation of Freedman descendancy is also accepted.
Mexico & Island Nations:
For Indigenous individuals from Mexico and Island Nations, please complete a family tree, and submit a personal narrative naming the specific tribal community you descend from, and how you know (whether through genealogy, geographic ties to known tribal territories, DNA testing, in addition to family testimonies of immigration or origin).
