Great overview of the history of the MCT constitution blood quantum requirements, and the revised White Earth constitution process. Our ancestors did not measure Anishinaabe identity by how much "blood" you had. Blood quantum was not required for citizenship until 1961. And then, the leaders of the MCT fought against using blood quantum as an enrollment mechanism, and only did so after US federal pressure. It's designed to extinguish our population. We deserve an MCT constitution that reflects our values.
