A Indian Blood Level Certificate or Alaskan Native Blood Certificate (both abbreviated to CDIB) is an official US document stating that a person has a certain level of indigenous American indigenous Indian blood federal, band, nation, pueblo, village, or community. They are issued by the Indian Affairs Bureau after the applicant supplies the complete genealogy by supporting legal documents such as birth certificates, showing off their offspring, through one or both parents of kelahi, from a registered Indian or an Indian registered in a base roll such as the Dawes Roll. Blood can not be obtained through foster parents. Blood levels on previously issued CDIBs or on base rolls in filer ancestors were used to determine blood filer levels (unless they challenge them as inaccurate). Information collected for archiving is kept secret by privacy laws, unless CDIB is related to a given assignment.
A CDIB can only show the blood level of one tribe or the total blood level of all tribes in the filer's ancestors. Some tribes require a certain minimum rate of tribal ancestry for membership, which may require the first type of certificate, while some federal allowance programs require a minimum level of Indian blood so that a person may need a second type of certificate to qualify. For example, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians require at least 1/16 degree of East Cherokee blood for tribal membership, while the Indian Administrative Bureau High School Fund for tuition requires at least 1/4 of a degree.
Indian Blood Degree certificates do not form membership in any tribe. Tribal membership is determined by tribal law and may or may not require CDIB or may require the determination of an ancestral tribe or blood level separately.
CDIB is controversial, from a racially political perspective, and because non-federally recognized terms are not eligible for cards or for benefits that require them. Some groups, such as Cherokee freedmen, often do not qualify for CDIB because they are not Indians with blood or their blood levels are not recorded in the base rolls (where Freedman is used rather than declare the title).
