What percentage of Cherokee would someone have to be to be considered American Indian on a college Application
My daughter is more cherokee than anything else. She has 2 great grandparents that were 100% cherokee. Does this qualify her for American indian tribal affiliation or for college applications? She is more Cherokee than any other heritage.

In order for her to be recognized by the Cherokee Nation she must be able to prove by birth, death and marriage certificates that she is Cherokee. The ancestor must be registered with the Cherokee Nation. Then an application with documentation must be submitted to the tribe for consideration. This does not mean they will accept her. This does not mean that she is entitled to anything.

You may go the the Cherokee Nation Website and contact them from there. You (your daughter) must have a decendants roll number to get your Cherokee Citizenship. Go to this site www.cherokee.org there is a contact number also. Hope this helps.

I would have thought that it's not about blood percentage but it depends on whether or not she is recognised as a member by the Cherokee Nation.

Taking advantage of affirmative action or some such, eh? That is very noble of you. Good luck in your life.
Not much. A kid I went to school with, who had a German last name, blonde hair, blue eyes, got to go to Indian camp to learn his "roots" every year. He was elligible for all that **** the Indians get, and he was a perfect little Nazi Aryan. Yeah...
