(2,606 posts)14. 25% or 0% depending on how you see it
If the purpose is to tell quaint tales about family history, 25% is fine.
If you are looking to gain access to benefits, it is how much you can prove: you need birth records.
If you are looking to be recognized by other Apaches, you might need to show that you are part of the community. Not all tribes look at "nativeness" as something genetic. Some see it as something cultural, required one to live within the community.
You would need to see what Apaches require for recognition.
