Degree of consangunity requirements for tribal enrollment vary among tribes and pueblos. Each has its own. 25% is common, but some may go as low as 10% depending upon one's Mother's status.
It is best to check with the particular tribe you are interested in. Tribal Administration can supply you with the requirements for their tribe.
