So I live in Canada and I am part native (my mom was half so I'm a quarter)and wanted to know if I can get a status card. I'm eligible, and does my mom have to have a status card in order for me to get one?

Made some friends with folks who were a quarter native and they had a status card. I think status requirements may be up to rules of your particular First nations band. Not knowing what province you are in, I did a search to see if there are any on line contact sites to learn of registering and proof needed for native status. I found one site listed for Alberta.
They make some good points on there and this is for Alberta so if you are in another province, you may want to search for a site for your province and if you can't find something, at least ask the Alberta people if they can redirect you. Here's that link:
