Between the 2000 U.S. Census and the 2020 Census, the number of people who checked the box for Native American or Alaska Native more than doubled. The increase can largely be attributed to self-identification and the fluidity of identity. However, only a fraction of those who identify as native are formally enrolled as a member of a federally-recognized Tribe. Today’s guest, Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz recently published book explores history of tribal enrollment and how sometimes-arbitrary rules impact people’s everyday lives.
Lowry Schuettpelz joins host Christina Lieffring to speak The Indian Card: Who Gets to Be Native in America. They discuss Native American identity, the history of tribal enrollment, blood quantum, and the personal stories that are explored in the book.
