A majority of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe has voted to eliminate a requirement that members have 25 percent tribal blood. In an advisory move, 64 percent of voters said the 25 percent blood quantum requirement should be removed from the tribe's constitution, which was adopted under federal government pressure in the early 1960s. This is the afternoon MPR News update for Friday, July 22, 2022. Hosted by Hannah Yang. Theme music by Gary Meister.
