OF THE BLOOD
For individuals who are enrolled members or documented descendants of a federally recognized, state-recognized, or historically documented Native American tribe or Indigenous community.
Membership
PATHWAYS TO MEMBERSHIP.
THREE ORGANIZATIONAL PATHWAYS. APPLICATIONS ARE REVIEWED INDIVIDUALLY.
Apache Bronco recognizes that a person’s relationship to the work of the organization can arise through documented descent, family history, community relationships, adoption, service, sponsorship, or sustained commitment. These pathways classify Apache Bronco organizational membership only; they do not determine citizenship or enrollment in another Native Nation.
Pathways to Membership
THREE ORGANIZATIONAL PATHWAYS.
Relationships to Indigenous community and to the work of Apache Bronco can arise through ancestry, family history, community relationships, adoption, service, sponsorship, and sustained commitment. Applications are evaluated individually.
BY THE BLOOD
For individuals who can document or reasonably establish Indigenous ancestry through family lineage, historical records, recognized relatives, genealogical documentation, or other credible evidence considered through Apache Bronco's review process.
Where Apache-specific ancestry is claimed, applicants should provide the strongest information reasonably available.
FOR THE BLOOD
For individuals who may not qualify through documented ancestry but have demonstrated meaningful and sustained commitment to Indigenous people, history, culture, preservation, community, or the mission of Apache Bronco.
This may include adoption, honorary recognition, sponsorship by a recognized community member, or sustained service that has earned Apache Bronco leadership's trust.
Acceptance under every pathway remains subject to review and formal approval by Apache Bronco. These pathways are Apache Bronco organizational classifications, not tribal-enrollment classifications. No pathway independently establishes Native ancestry or citizenship in another Native Nation.
