It’s becoming more and more common for women to keep their maiden names after getting married.
It’s not a given any more that the woman will change her last name.
My brother’s wife didn’t change her last name.

When he dated Taylor Swift I remember remarking that if they got married they’d have the same name, it’s satisfying to find out all these years later that it actually happened, albeit with a different woman called Taylor

I am a white male and used to live and work on a reservation in Eastern Arizona. The number one way a person would lose all credibility was to walk into work on the first week and tell Native staff that you are 1/32 Cherokee or whatever bullshit they made up.

A lot, but law states you can only be enrolled in one tribe so if they’re mother is from one tribe and the father a different tribe they will have two pick one of the two and will only be counted as half native from that tribe.

Reply to TIL in early 1942 the Battle of Los Angeles was fought, with an hour-long barrage of anti-aircraft artillery fired from the city against a perceived Japanese invasion. The cause: a stray weather balloon. by McKFC
Fake news! It was UFOs and we all know it. Wake up sheeple!

I wish there was a way to figure all that out. My mother said her great-grandmother was Native American but I don’t have any way to verify it.

We are in California. Our payments are called general assistance and that allows it to be tax free. Our Indian health(run by the 5 local tribes) gives out food a couple times a month. When our tribe does it people bitch about what they are getting so it's not worth the hassle. The majority are thankfully but a small percentage ruin it for everyone.

I'd agree but my dad's cousin did it and confirmed he had native ancestry. Can't link to my other comment about it

Native Hawaiian here. Ethnically and culturally we are considered Polynesian (or Pacific Islander, which includes other ethnic groups from the Pacific/Oceania besides Polynesians).
Its estimated theres about 5,000 pure blood Native Hawaiians left, out of an estimated 300,000 mixed-race Native Hawaiian population.
Native Hawaiians are not federally recognized as being a Native American tribe, there were efforts in the past to do so, but it was shot down in congress.
We do indeed have a State administered "Office of Hawaiian Affairs" (OHA). and in regards to the tidbit about reservations, we do not have reservations either. Or corporations like the Alaskan natives. We do have whats called "Hawaiian Homelands" which is basically just parcels of land strewn through out our islands that are reserved for Native Hawaiians to (originally) homestead on. Now much of it is regular residential housing. Theres a whole controversy about it but i wont get into it here.
And we dont have a "quantum" thing based on tribal membership, because well, Native Hawaiians dont have tribes. If you can trace your lineage to the Native peoples who lived in Hawaii prior to Western contact (1788 A.D.) you are considered Native Hawaiian. However there is a 50% blood quantum requirement to receive a parcel of land via Hawaiian Homelands.
