Being recognized as a member/citizen of a Native nation can actually be worth money now that many reservations have casinos. The purge of Tribal membership rolls is more likely an attempt to make the share larger for the remaining members.

I don’t think so. These fights within the Cherokee Nation, Seminole and Creek date back to the 1970s-80s. It’s not just about money, it’s about purity. OT1H it’s hard to blame the 5 Civilized, since they’ve had so much taken from them by the 1/512th types.

But again, imo, they give themselves away by such staunch reliance on the Dawes Rolls. Shoulda thought harder and longer about that throwing in with Confederacy bit, but since they didn’t…
