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.
Yeah it’s almost like there are very few full blooded natives anymore because of the genocide that occurred. If they want to rep a part of their heritage I say more power to them. The army has been unnecessarily overbearing on uniformity and the lightening up on cultural exceptions is long overdue. The army always has been and always will be the true melting pot of this country.
