I’m a 35-year-old man, born to a tribal mother in a remote village. I never knew my father. My mother, a government employee, raised me in our tribal community. I’m married to a woman from our tribe. As I don’t have any documents to prove my tribal status, I want to use my mother’s surname. My wife and I are both tribal, but I’m unsure about my child’s future. What should I do?

Based on your situation and Indian law, you can approach a tribal authority to establish your tribal status based on your mother’s lineage. Your child will automatically inherit your tribal status and identity, as your wife is also from the same tribe. You can also consider legal advice for further clarification and support.
