I'm an injun, 1/16th, and I need to prove it to get a job.

[Lancer]

My mother once told me I'm 1/16th indian. If I can prove it they'll definately give me a job at the local indian casino. Since my wife and father in law both work there they are hesitant to hire me. These jobs are good wampum and have excellent benefits. So, is there a genetic test I can take to prove my heretige?

If so, how would one go about it?

[Lancer]

Tass, they do genetic testing at the hospital?

I can help... No genetic mumbo jumbo whatsoever... All you have to do is fill out this questioneer:

1. Can you drink an entire 750ml of Whiskey in one sitting?

I'll have to get back to you on that Japher.

That could just prove he's part Irish.

Just keep saying "wampum" instead of "money" and you'll do fine. Oh, and keep mentioning how Tonto carried the Lone Ranger all those years. If that doesn't work then sue for discrimination. Besides, a HUGE number of Americans are at least 1/16 "injun".

Trade your house for some beads.

[Barinthus]

How!

How? You take the house and swap it for beads. How, geez

First, you take out the elephant.

"First, you take out the elephant."

I don't unzip for any man.

Is yo' Mamma still around? She could help. You need to show that one of your great great grandparents was a full blooded Indian or that two of them were half Indian. If you have a family tree you should be able to find someone who was registered with a tribe.

Contrary to Vince278's assertion, while a huge number of American's claim they are decended from American Indians, there isn't a whole lot of evidence that's the case. Inventing false lineages is an old tradition in every society, to give legitimacy to your family. As one Indian told me, apparently, there were more Indian princesses than Indians.
