issue, because a secular government should not restrict marriage between two adults.
*** My mom heard much of her
life that her great-great Texan grandfather had married a full- blooded-native American woman. This would have made my mom 1/16 Native American, which in some tribal national qualifies her to be a member of that tribe. Now, some research has been
