Ask the ExpertExpert Question: My father remembers his grandmother receiving a check, possibly from the U.S. government, because she was part Indian. This would have been in the 1930s. Any suggestions as to why she received this check? Expert Answer: According to the U.S. Department of Interior, "There has long been a myth that Indians receive a monthly check from the U.S. Government because of their status as Indians. There is no basis for this belief other than misinformation and misconception of the status of American Indians."
