Excerpt:
Each tribe determines who can be considered part of their tribe because they are sovereign nations.

And, unfortunately for some, those requirements can change over time leaving tribal members tribeless.
What's the reason? Well, as with the "Ugaya" tribe in House of Cards, recently, disenrollment has been related to allegations of greed by casino tribes (tribes that own casinos). The issue has been happening all across Indian Country since bingo halls and eventually casinos became a potential source of income for Indian tribes seeking a way to provide for their people.
