Presuming that your great grandmother was half Indian and presuming there are no other lines of Indian in you, that would make your Grandmother 1/4 Indian, your mother 1/8th Indian and yourself 1/16th. Not enough to be called Indian. If your great grandmother was less than half, that would lower those percentages.
Enrollment in the Blackfeet Tribe is governed by the Blackfeet Nation Constitution and By-laws, Article II. Which states: "Section 1. The members of the Blackfeet Tribe shall consist as follows: (a) all persons of Indian blood whose names appear on the official census roll of the tribe as of January 1, 1935. (b) All children born prior to the adoption of this admendment to any blood member of the Blackfeet tribe maintaining a legal residence within the territory of the Reservation at the time of such birth. (c) All children having one-fourth (1/4) degree of Blackfeet Indian blood or more, born after the adoption of this admendment to any blood member of the Blackfeet Tribe." The "1/4 degree of Blackfeet Indian blood" refers to your "blood quantum" level. Blood quantum is not a DNA test, but instead is deemed upon historical, legal, cultural or sociological paradigmns. Different tribes have different laws to be considered a legitimate "legal" Native American Indian within their tribe. I won't quote it here, but Section 2 of the above article guarantees full commsission of membership for future and new members in the Blackfeet Nation to the Tribal Council (The Blackfeet Tribal Buisness Council.) For further information go to: www.blackfeetnation.com You can contact the Council members through that website if you think you are eligible for an application for membership, and/or to ask questions. Perhaps, you can ask them if your great-grandmother was part of the original census, or ever lived on the reservation. Some tribes factor in whether or not inter-tibal relationships occured, as well, such as if your great-grandmother married a Choctaw for example,. I'm not sure what the Blackfeet Nation's policies are on that, though.
