text: how do you get native american "head rights?"? i am part comanche of the cherokee nation, and i have never applied for headrights.  because i am only 1/8th american indian, i have never attempted to apply.  friends have suggested that i should find out more about it, but i don't know where to start or what the qualifications are.  i may not even qualify, but i would like to know one way or the other. http://cita.chattanooga.org/bia/cdibfedreg.htm
