    That’s pretty close to a real looking ID, so either it is a real one (native American tribes are self governing and can issue their own ID’s) or it’s a forgery and that’s a really big crime to forge official government documents (most sovcit’s don’t get this charge because what they have is usually so obviously bad no one would think it’s real).

      Nope, there is no such tribe and never was. This is a grift and it’s very popular. Steal the name of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, for example, add some gibberish and attempt to get federal funds designated for real tribes. It actually hurts real tribal citizens with real IDs, because they get rejected by jaded, ignorant bank employees who have encountered the fake bullshit too many times. You know how else to tune in your bullshit meter? He’a wearing a hat. You can’t wear a hat in a photo for any type of ID. Not tribal, not federal.
