OUR COMMITMENT
RECOVERING/MAINTAINING/RESTORING THOUGH POLICY
Bloodline Policy Purpose
This policy establishes the standards and procedures for verifying bloodline descent within the Brown Tribal Government. Bloodline verification ensures the integrity of our sacred lineage, maintains eligibility for tribal services and participation in governance, and upholds our sovereign right to define our own membership.
Guiding Principles
Bloodline is the foundation of our identity, sovereignty, and governance.
Verification must be handled with respect, confidentiality, and cultural integrity.
Elders, oral historians, and family documents are honored as legitimate sources of truth.
This process is not punitive but protective — to preserve our lineage for future generations.
Eligibility for Bloodline Verification
To be eligible for recognition into our tribe, applicants must demonstrate direct biological descent from an officially recognized ancestor listed in the tribal records.
Who We Are
BROWN ESTATE INDIAN GOVERNMENT is dedicated to honoring and preserving the unique heritage of our Indian bloodline and our tribal lineage. We strive to create a space of empowerment, unity, and cultural pride, ensuring that our ancestors' legacy continues to thrive for generations to come.
