Target Refuses Tribal ID Sparks Widespread Identification Confusion
A Blackfeet Nation member reported being denied a routine return at Target when employees refused to acknowledge her federally recognized Tribal identification. The woman, who has used her Tribal ID without issue for years, including while previously employed at Target, offered to manually input the information, but her ID was rejected by both an employee and a supervisor. This incident, occurring while she was out for essential baby supplies as a new mother, has caused distress and prompted her to share her experience online to prevent similar occurrences for other Native Americans.
