Editing Sac and Fox Nation (section)

===Self-government re-established in 20th century===
The administration of President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] established what was called an "Indian New Deal", passing a law to encourage tribes to re-establish self-government. The [[Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act]] of 1934 was passed by its legislature in a similar effort. In 1937, the Sac and Fox organized Under these laws and gained federal recognition as a tribe, with an independent relationship to the federal government. They have areas of tribal jurisdiction in Oklahoma, while no longer having a reservation.

Under their constitution, they established tribal citizenship as applying to everyone listed on the tribal [[Dawes Rolls]] and their descendants, as long as individuals had a minimum [[blood quantum]] of one-eighth Sac and Fox blood (equivalent to one great-grandparent). They recognize that descendants may be brought up as culturally Sac and Fox while having mixed ancestry.<ref>[http://www.sacandfoxnation-nsn.gov/departments/government/constitution/ "Constitution."] ''Sac and Fox Nation.''
