Not sure you understand why some Native people identify with their cultural roots and belonging to these nations. Some of it, in Klanada, has obviously to do with the "Indian" official status as recognized by the colonial Ministry of Indian Affairs.

The less obvious aspect, recognized in anthropology, is a way to put someone into a deeper and more empowering cultural perspective of themselves and others -through culture and ethnic lines- something that Euro settlers don't have, beyond maybe religious groups or White supremacist bullshit. This is "culture as battlefront" perspective.
