That’s just the blood quantum. What do they do with member’s children of mixed race, that other race being Indian as well?
So long as children are either the product of two trial members or one parent is at least 1/16th M-Pequot, they are tribal members. I knew a fellow whose wife was 1/4 M-Pequot. His wife and his kids were tribal members but he was not. It’s all a silly ruse since the original Pequot tribe, by their own history, disappeared about 1740 when they battled (and lost) with the Mohicans. The survivors were assimilated by other tribes.
