I don't know how to prove it---I believe the common app. let's you choose more than 1 race and asks for a tribal i.d.--but if you don't have it you can put in a generic number.

BTW, if both your parents' great-great grandmothers are Native American, wouldn't that make you more like 1/16 (your father would be 1/16 and your mother would be 1/16)?
