The degree of blood required varies from tribe-to-tribe and pueblo-to-pueblo. With many it is 25%; with others it may be more or less, and can depend upon your Mother's status. The best thing to do is to contact the tribe or pueblo and ask them directly what their requirements for tribal/pueblo membership are and how to apply for admission.
