Reguarding no insurance, could this be helpful if you have indian blood from one of the five civil tribes and your ancestors names are on the roll?

The fun part is proving that you do and being able to make claims against it.

To be declared American Indian, I believe you must be able to prove your linage, be at least 1/8th Indian blood, and join a tribe. I know my sister tried to do this at one time as we are 1/8th by blood, but due to birth records being lost in an Oklahoma courthouse fire back in the late 1800's, 1/16th of it could not be proved 100% so we didn't qualify.

Others may have better information on this.

It's proven and it does not matter on linage, I'm 128th. 1898 to 1914 has the list of ancestors with roll numbers and roll numbers are required on the app. Indian nations have their own government but I don't have my card yet. Help.
