[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor of many years has blonde hair and blue eyes (though her hair has darkened over the years, so she highlights). She is a documented Native American.[b] She owns 51% of the company she runs with her husband so they can be awarded contracts because the company is owned by a “minority woman.” [/b]He skin is white, though she does tan easily. Her kids are all blonde/blue-eyed.

Having said that, I believe there is a cut off to be considered officially Native American - maybe 1/8th? She is the cut-off, so her children would not qualify for scholarships, for example. She is very proud of her heritage and shares information about her tribe on FB occasionally. I have learned a lot from her about Native American issues over the years. She identifies as Irish/Native mixed. So it can happen.

I have seen pictures of her mom and there is much more of an obvious Native American heritage in her coloring. My friend resembles her Irish father.[/quote]
