Realistically, they probably got that number from 23andMe or similar.
Mine is 2.6% for Indigenous American, which is well within margin of error of what I heard from my family. (Note that those tests actually have very wide error bars anyway)
In the US, it depends on the tribe and they decide how much you need. Some are stricter than others. Canada and the US have been competing for worst treatment of first nations for a long time.
It’s handled by individual tribal governments. Some are very strict about who they let in, others are much more liberal about it. Basically it isn’t our federal government that makes that determination.
Just below you somebody posted that Barker was of 1/8 Native heritage.
Yet he grew up on a reservation, and even strict tribal elders should (and probably did) take into consideration Barker’s positive accomplishments for society in general, such as his campaign of awareness to spay/neuter pets to help keep the population under control humanely, and he was never afraid of using his microphone and airtime to remind his large audience every day, for decades.
What I’m saying is, even if 1/8 wasn’t technically enough, he could have made it in just like accomplished artists often receive honorary PhDs from prestigious Universities, even when they did not have (or finish) their formal education when younger.
57% of which tribe? With more than half, I would expect you to have a fairly strong upbringing in the tribe with various customs and your parents likely know how to get you enrolled.
Not always that simple. My father has tried for years but gets stonewalled because of who his father was, my grandfather was disowned for marrying a white woman rather than leave her a single mother. In the end I think being cut off like that is what killed my grandfather really.
Some tribes have been in legal battles over the past few decades because they’re trying to disenroll people no matter how “native” they are. IIRC at least one tribe was limiting membership to only the descendants of the families that signed a specific treaty and then only if they had the paperwork to back it up. Which, if you know anything about the history of natives in this country, is really fucked up to require.
Not the one I remember but here’s an example of a tribe disenrolling people regardless of their “blood quantum”:
End of Series topicWhy did everyone have to die by the hands of the psychotic kid? I feel like there was a allegory for not taking the college tests to seriously in there, but that whole mental breakdown happed so fast, it felt forced
PrisonersWas I the only one shouting at the screen “JUST SHOOT THEM”, the whole hostage scenario could have been ended so quickly… 7 people with guns against 1 guy with a gun pointed at the ground…
We need to get a drill instructor (is Angry Cops available) to review all the weapons discipline in the film… there was so much flagging it might as well have been the vexillological society.
The one scene early on where they are balancing a pebble on the end of the rifle while dry firing to prove they can aim and shoot steady, ok… but they are doing it in a circle… ok… but everyone is facing inwards… so every single firing position is dry firing pointing at friendlies…
One of the smallest suspension of disbelief in the film… but it irked me.
Early Episode One spoiler discussionWhen they opened the series and said soldiers up to age 24, and high school seniors were being called into active duty… I was intrigued, thought there was some age based reason only young people could effectively fight the Spheres. Like maybe the brain patterns of older adults were too suspectable to mind control, or something. But no… just… Need boots on the ground, so instead of using the military 24-40 and reservists 24-40… we will activate the highshoolers first… I realize this was all plot convenience to get a high school drama in a sci-fi war, but come on…
Huh? AppleTalk was, according to the headline, discontinued in 2009 if that’s the useless feature you mean. It wasn’t useless before that, but eventually TCP/IP overtook it and it was no longer practical to run two networking stacks side by side. It is very similar to Microsoft’s extensive use of IPX/SPX up through Windows XP (IIRC XP was the last to include it).
Apple certainly has its flaws, including a bug I reported many years ago in Photos that makes it useless to me, but them discontinuing an aging network protocol nearly 25 years ago seems like a weird thing for you to be upset about, so maybe I misunderstood your post.
For those not clear, AppleTalk was created at a time where there was no universal standard in networking. The “standard network” you think of today, a bunch of computers plugged into a router, existed but wasn’t the de-facto setup. There was still experimentation going on.
Apple ported some of the AppleTalk features, such as Network Discovery, into Bonjour which was introduced in 2002. Once that became mature, there was no reason to keep AppleTalk around.
This gives me similar vibes to the film “Go”. Came out around the same time and had that girl from Dawson’s Creek in it. Well worth a watch. They don’t make film like them any more.
