No you gave a list of tribes that do require a certain blood quanta. Not a list of all 500+tribes. From Wiki. I gave an actuall government site that says clearly and explcitly, that each tribe sets it own rule, and that some groups allow "tribal residency, or continued contact with the tribe " as criteria. For example, I knew a white guy from Indiana, who married a woman outside Bethel alaska. He was made a tribal corparation member so that he would be allowed to hunt and provide for His Wife and Children. HE had lived there for years and was a part of thier village. So he was inducted, legally. thugh I will say you strayed really far from the original point that you were incorrect on. and a person who is 50% native American, but not enrolled in a tribe (like many Hispanics),gets no benefit as a Native. The BIA rolls are more important than Quanta (though the two are often related)
