native american?
my mother and i do not speak, but she is native american and i know that i can receive college grants being of the ethnicity....so i was wondering does anyone know how to prove it without having to speak to this women ?
p.s. if you wonder why we do not speak it is because she abandonded me 20 something years ago and wants to reconcile, but i still have harsh feelings towards her.
Benefits are only available to those who are members of a Federally Recognized Tribe or Nation. I guess the first question would be if your mother is indeed a member of a Tribe or Nation and whether you know which one (if any) she may be a member of. If your mother is NOT a member of a Federally Recognized Tribe or Nation you have a tough row to hoe in front of you.
What you will need to do is prove that you descend from someone on the rolls of the Tribe or Nation. If your mother is indeed a member and you know which, you can contact the tribal council and request information about her membership, you will then have to prove she is your mother, a certified copy of your birth certificate will suffice.
If your mother is NOT a member of her tribe then you will have to do some genealogy research and find out who your ancestors on her side of the family are. Then contact the tribe and research if any of them are indeed members of the tribe. You will then have to provide proof for each generation that you descend from the person who is/was a member of the tribe.
Now about tuition assistance. I would bet there are 100's of students that are members of the tribe that are applying for help, you would just be one more in the stack, and since I assume you are NOT living on the reservation and would not use your college education to help the tribe, the chance of your being selected to receive assistance would be slim. The tribes don't just have money laying around to help all that need it, many young adults living on the reservations don't get the help they so desperately need. So I would ask that if you are just looking for a handout, DON'T, there are many more deserving people that can put the money and education to work for the tribe.
Oh and about your mother, from what you said the problem is in you. If your mother wants to reconcile and you can't forgive her then it's your problem not hers...
