This is what is acceptable for enrollment into the Eastern Band of Cherokee per Cherokee code, Chapter 49:
1. A direct lineal ancestor must appear on the 1924 Baker Roll of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
2. You must possess at least 1/16 degree of Eastern Cherokee blood.
Please note: Blood Quantum is calculated from your ancestor listed on the 1924 Baker Roll. No DNA/blood testing is performed or acceptable for this calculation.

This subject will be expanded into future Journal articles. Every Journal will now have at least one article regarding the Cherokee. There is more information available than one might think and this information will be in an upcoming Journal.
You won't want to miss anything so become a BCGHS member today. The cost of the Journal is a lot less paid through membership than buying the Journals individually. Non-members will be paying the tax and shipping plus $12 for each journal. The cost of membership is currently $20 for the year that included 2 (approximately 80-90 page) Journals. Members = $10 per Journal; non-members = $17.17 per Journal ($13.17 if purchased at the BCGHS office).
