The best benefit you could've wrangled IMO is land ownership. Tribe membership entitles you to purchase and outright own land on a reserve - anyone else and most of the time it's 100 year leases which can be broken at a whim by the tribal authority with the full backing of Ottawa (it's all considered crown land). Get in with a tribe, get land for cheap, construct a place with a builders mortgage, and at worst you've got something to rent out for cheap.I once had a (darker) metis who's relatively important in the native sphere ask me if I was also native.
My pale skinned, blue eye'd, ginger ass replied that no, I was not and he still asked if I was sure before leaving for something else he was busy with.
I should have said yes and got my no-tax card and shit
