There are many reasons why a person will seek to establish his or her ancestry as that of AI/AN. One may be because the person wants to become an enrolled member of a federally recognized tribe. Another may be a desire to verify a family tradition or belief that has been passed down from generation to generation, whether based on fact or fiction, that he or she descends from an AI/AN person or tribal community. Another could be a desire only to learn more about a family’s history. Another may be to establish eligibility for public or private sector services or benefits that are believed to be provided only to persons who are AI/AN.


When establishing descent from an AI/AN tribe for membership and enrollment purposes, however, an individual must provide genealogical documentation that supports his or her claim of such ancestry from a specific tribe or tribal community. Such documentation must prove that the individual is a lineal descendent of an individual whose name can be found on the tribal membership roll of the federally recognized tribe from which the individual is claiming descent and is seeking to enroll.


If the end goal for doing such research is to help you determine if you are eligible for membership in a tribe, you must be able to: 1) establish that you have a lineal ancestor – biological parent, grandparent, great-grandparent and/or more distant ancestor – who is an American Indian or Alaska Native person from a federally recognized tribe in the U.S., 2) identify which tribe (or tribes) your ancestor was a member of or affiliated with, and 3) document your relationship to that person using vital statistics records and other records a tribe may require or accept for purposes of enrollment.

The BIA does not maintain a massive national registry or comprehensive computer database of AI/AN individuals, nor can the bureau retrieve genealogical information about individuals from such a source. The BIA’s offices, including the bureau’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., generally do not keep records on individual AI/ANs, and it does not maintain a national registry of them. Nor does the BIA conduct genealogical research for the public. Through this guide, however, we can offer suggestions on where to look and with whom to talk when trying to trace ancestry to any of the Federally recognized tribes in the U.S.
