I generally support tribal rights, but just to clarify all people born in the United States are citizens regardless of ancestry or ethnicity.

Yes there are other routes to sovereignty over US soil other than familial inheritance, including being born on the land or becoming a naturalized citizen.

Still, the predominant route is via a claim to the correct ancestral lineage. Here I mean that one’s ancestors form an unbroken chain of people who also had sovereignty over the land. This route is also the predominant one taken by citizens of most other countries.
