Each tribe has its own enrollment criteria and procedures but with a father who is enrolled and grew up on a reservation it should be relatively straightforward. Your father should be able to provide the information on his parents. Here’s an example of what one tribal group requires:

REQUIREMENTS ARE:
Applicants must provide three (3) generations of lineal descent born after April 1, 1935.
Applicants must have one or both parents enrolled with our tribe.

DOCUMENTS NEEDED ARE:
Original Certified Birth Certificate
Social Security Card
Abstract of Census (if a parent is enrolled with another tribe).
Custody papers (if you are not the parent).
Paternity Affidavit (if the father is not on the birth certificate).
