 To receive tribal services, a Native American must be a citizen of (or enrolled in) a [[federally recognized tribe]]. While each tribal government makes its own rules for the eligibility of citizens, the federal government has its own qualifications for federally-funded services. Federal scholarships for Native Americans require the student to be enrolled in a federally recognized tribe ''and'' to be of at least one-quarter Native American [[CDIB|blood quantum]], as attested to by a [[Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood]] (CDIB) card issued by the federal government.
-Tribal membership conflicts have led to a number of legal disputes, court cases, and the formation of activist groups. One example of this is the [[Cherokee Freedmen]]. The [[Cherokee Nation]] requires documented direct genealogical descent from a Cherokee person listed in the early 1906 [[Dawes Rolls]]. The Freedmen are descendants of African Americans once enslaved by the Cherokees, who were granted, by federal treaty, citizenship in the [[Cherokee Nation (19th century)|historic Cherokee Nation]] as freedmen after the [[American Civil War|Civil War]]. The [[Cherokee Nation|modern Cherokee Nation]], in the early 1980s, passed a law to require that all members must prove descent from a Cherokee Native American (not Cherokee Freedmen) listed on the Dawes Rolls, resulting in the exclusion of some individuals and families who had been active in Cherokee culture for years.
