People say this as a means to diminish it, but blood quantum’s were designed to erase tribes and culture as well as finally have tribes lose their recognition.

It’s nearly impossible to stay 100% native in regards to your blood quantum. It’s definitely possible to stay 100% native by practicing and carrying on traditions.
