I am certain you realize that such a closeted definition means that there ARE no Indians, beyond a culture, within a few generations? To use your blood/race argument, there would be nobody qualified to be Head Dancer within 100 years!
"Born Indian?" Really, who determines which parents are Native enough to bear more Native children?
So long as folks focus on RACE as a determining factor, they belittle themselves, marginalize our existence, kill our political impact, doom our culture to failure and reveal their ignorance.
It's all based in FEAR.
