The Cherokee tribe is one tribe where if you have even one drop of Cherokee blood you're a Cherokee. If she has 1/32, then she did nothing wrong. My tribe requires you to prove at least 1/4 blood quantum in order to be considered a tribal member, but that's just us Ojibwas. It still pisses me off that we're the only racial group in America that are required to prove we are who we say we are.

Oh well, after 55 years I'm used to it...
