Robert anyone who has to ask that question does not deserve to be a member of one of the tribes. Anyone with their hand out waiting for a handout, and that's anyone of any race, does not deserve to be a member. I would suggest you look a little deeper into why you would want to be an American. Why Martin Luther King Jr. wanted civil rights in the Nation of his birth when the white man didn't want him or any blacks. The answer is inside you already. You just have to get past the surface to find it.
