In our family it was a secret - my grandma died thinking she was 100% German and my great aunt still thinks that. They just think that’s what people from southern Germany look like. However, my great grandpa didn’t inherit the farm he was supposed to because he married the “wrong” woman. That combined with how they look gave a hypothesis and DNA testing on me proved it. So there’s no real documentation, and I don’t know for sure what tribe I descended from. The point wasn’t that there was money set aside for Native Americans, but that it was set aside for anyone other than white people. That’s straight up wrong, and if black person could have checked a “white” checkbox to circumvent discrimination in the 50s I would have been all for it too.
