That's pretty discouraging. But if someone has such extensive genealogical information pointing to 100% Native ancestry, you would think that the tribe would recognize her on that basis. I really don't understand why the rolls must figure so prominently in determining tribal membership. Weren't the rolls a project of the U.S. government, rather than the tribes themselves?
As for the DNA tests, I'm now inclined to think that they are more of commercial than scientific value. But even so, for my mother it was worth the investment, because we have no other source of information.
