i don't buy into the whole registration thing. I'm half Native American and proudly so. My skin is somewhat dark, I've been in Native American clubs since I was 8, I've gone to and helped out at many pow-wows, I'd had long hair that went to my waist for most of my life (yes, I'm male), I know a lot about my heritage (my room is full of books on it), and I speak Cherokee (Tsalagi). I don't, however, have any official "enrollment" forms, and never felt the need to. Does that mean I'm not Cherokee? Or that I'm not allowed to put on my app "Native American?" That's just stupid. I don't think I'm going to put anything at all--colleges should be evaluating me on my merits, not my ethnicity anyway.
