How can I prove my Native American ancestry?
I have discovered through my grandmother’s knowledge and hand-written documents (a diary and a history of my family) that I am a direct descendant of the Seminole Chief Osceola. How can I prove this for, say, a scholarship? I saw on Ancestry.com that you can have a DNA test run to determine your ancestors. Would this be an effective way of proving my ancestry to Osceola?
brings light has the right info.
dna test are not used for tribal enrollment. you either have documented proof or not. there are so many people with distant native ancestry wanting to join tribes so they can get something. trust me…no matter who you may be related to, that’s a shitty reason to want to be a tribal member. its like the long lost family that comes out of the woodwork when someone wins the lottery.
