Blood Quantum

First of all, I believe the decision to change anything related to Tribal Enrollment should not be in the hands of 9 Tribal Councilors but should be sent to a referendum vote of the people. I also believe blood quantum is a federal policy implementing termination.

Descendancy has been discussed. The flaw in choosing descendancy is the creation of two classes of citizens, those above and those below ¼ blood, often with different advantages.

An alternative is simply raising the blood quantum of the original roll sent to the BIA to full blood by referendum. Calculating blood quantum based on that original and official roll as full bloods lets more youngsters onto the roll while maintaining ¼ blood quantum minimum. Every so many years the Council could select a new roll date for full blood status and send to referendum.
