A lot of genuinely native people may look "white" even though they were raised on the Rez and are enrolled tribal members. Looking white and culturally native is a real thing. Looking white and dressing native and claiming native and not being native is also a thing. Historically, native communities adopted outsiders into the tribe and married outside of native communities. All such people become full members in native practice going back centuries and as a result, there are truly native people with lighter complexions than you might expect.
