identified?

What is the definition of a Jay Treaty Indian
and are they eligible for CalWORKs?
North American Indians born in Canada, who
have at least 50% Indian blood, are the Jay Treaty
Indians and can freely pass between the U. S.
and Canada. Jay Treaty Indians are considered
lawful permanent residents (LPR) when present in
the U. S., but they must apply with USCIS for this
status.
In addition to USCIS and/or court documents, the
person must have proof (including birth records)
to certify that the Canadian-born person is of 50%
Indian blood (i.e., affidavits from tribal officials or
other proof of this status).
