Native American
How do I get registered with a native american tribe?
I am part Adai native american (Louisiana). There, apparently aren't many left. My grandmother said she can provide documentation that we are native american. How do I get registered?
The Adai hasn't been an independent tribe since the late 1700's. They moved west and joined the Caddo tribe and were completely absorbed. Their estimated population in 1700 was 400 members...
The remaining Adai are seeking to gain Federal recognition in order to become independent from the Caddo Tribe. Now about gaining membership in the tribe. I would normally post a website but the "official" website for the Adai Indian Nation doesn't work.... There is an Adai Indian Nation Cultural Center @ 4460 HWY 485, Robeline, LA 71469
Phone (318) 472-1007
There is a webpage for it at:
http://www.explorenatchitoches.com/attractions/adai-indian-nation-cultural-center/
You do not say what kind of documentation your grandmother has, but I would say that unless it proves one of your ancestors was indeed a member of the tribe, you would be hard pressed to gain membership.
But I wish you good luck..
