I would be remissed to point out that the notion of blood quantum has its core a provincial and divisive objective. Allow me to explain, such policies which were developed by the federal government at the turn of the century, were made specifically to limit the ability to pass on fee title to lands, and as well to pare down the numbers of the native community to participate in such programs. 

Many have come to the misguided notion that the greater blood quantum, the more legitimate the bonafides of the native person--truth is, native is native. This type of conscripted institutional control has at its primacy and derivative all the elements of revisionism and only serves to fissure the native community.
