    Legal advice about getting money because of Native American heritage
    Any information about the likelihood of being able to get money because of having a great great grandfather being full Native American West Indian, and the other great great grandfather being full Native American, which I have to find out what type; would be appreciate.

    Thanks in advance

    If you are thinking that the government will start sending you a check if you can prove this, you are wrong, won't happen.

    In Canada you have to have a certain amount of Native to get what you are entitled to as a Native. You file paperwork with the government. It can be difficult but even if you don't you can still learn about your heritage and become part of the community.

    I believe, although not positive, you do have to live on a reservation to get the housing and other monetary things you are entitled to.
