Unbroken: Indigenous Peoples Today

Tribal I.D. Card

After talking to Joe he slid a card across the table and offered for me to photograph it. It was something that people in American society don't often see - a Tribal ID. Almost everything on this Tribal ID was the same as everyone else's except for one major item, and that was "Blood Degree". Blood degree means what Native blood percentage someone has, and can determine whether they have access to Tribal membership and government benefits.
