The only difference there is that some of us are called the “recognized tribe.” And by that, that means we all have to be enrolled somewhere. Enrollment means that we are a part of a reservation. For example, now I can only speak for Standing Rock, if your parents are enrolled, that’s identifying you as a member of a recognized tribe. And so… we have to explain that in some…in a softer way…I guess if I could use that word. To say that…we are Lakota people by our blood quantum, for example. That might be one way where if our parents are…we call them fullbloods which means they are four-fourths of the Lakota…or…in probably…we were called the “Sioux” people. In later years, a lot of them didn’t like to be called that, so they changed it to “Lakota.” And the dialect would make that difference in who we are. And the Dakota are the ones who are enrolled with the Sisseton tribes and so forth. And so we were enrolled at the Standing Rock Agency. That’s where our whole form of government…that’s where they are…tribal and the bureau. And so that’s who we go to to get our children and grandchildren enrolled. If they possess…or if they can prove they are one-fourth degree of Indian.
