<p>I need advice. I am 3/4 African-American, 1/8 Native American (Cherokee), and 1/8 Native Canadian. Of course I relate more to my African-American side, but I am starting to relate to my Cherokee roots a lot also. Would it be wrong for me to check both native american and African-American on documents that ask? Like State tests, SAT's, college apps, program apps etc?</p>
<p>If you’re applying as a NA to colleges, you’ll need to provide documentation from your tribe certifying that you are indeed a formal member of that tribe. It has to do with financial aid issues, not to mention legitimate NAs have a significant hook.</p>
