Pictures Required on Apps?

I am very proud of my native american heritage. The problem is that my physical features do not reflect my heritage. When I tell people that I am part native american, they usually laugh and think I’m lying. Because native americans are the least represented minority in american colleges, this is a big deal. My cousins all attended Stanford and my sister got into Yale as native american students, but each of them have features more like what people expected. But I am 17 years young than my sister and 15 years younger than my youngest cousins. My sister typed her apps; that’s how much technology has changed. Given how easy it is to attach digital photos to electronic apps, I was worried that the colleges I want to apply to would require a photo and then question my native american claim. Since my grandma is dead, I’m not sure how I would prove it. I have proof that I am on a tribal roll, and I was hoping that would be enough.
