Last Updated: 19 years The criteria for citizenship is that you must trace back to a direct ancestor listed on the 1906 Dawes Roll by issuance of birth and/or death certificates. If your mother or father is enrolled as of 1981; all that would be required of you as an applicant is your original state certified birth certificate listing your Creek parent(s). However, if you are tracing back to a direct ancestor listed on the 1906 Dawes Roll, you would be required to provide the death certificate of the orginal enrollee and birth certificates of each person thereafter leading up to the applicant.
