<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Hello, I have a very flawed system to talk about. The seneca nation of indians receive a lot of government assistance & benefits and although I love the nation, I hate that; because my father is native american but my mother wasn't we do not receive benefits.

I am 50% Native American, I've grown up in the culture. My father receives checks from them every 3 months, as did his aunt. Also my cousins received them since they were born. One of my cousins had a child who is probably 12% native american and he receives the SAME checks. For the same amount.

Are there any legal ways I can get the checks for myself and my sister. Possibly even my child who is not yet born? I've emailed some people from the nation but have received no response.
