@"SDCAVIKESFAN wife and daughters have done it.   All this time she thought she was hispanic and it turns out she is 51 percent Native American.

So you have payments coming your way if your tribe has a casino - as well as other gov't benefits.

we have to find which tribe and find out if any of her ancestors are registered.  They made the trip to new mexico a couple months back to see if they can find it.  They got some good leads but it takes a while and like you said if they have a casino.

The tribe just owning a casino may not be enough,  some require the members live on the reservation  and work at the casino a little in order to get their cut....so how do you feel about relocating to sunny new mexico?

Well, the spit's in the mail and on it's way for analysis. 

Maybe I'm due some of that casino $$ too?
