Summary
A native woman from Canada who wants to visit her daughter, who lives in the USA, is stopped at the US-Canada border and asked her nationality. She says she's neither American nor Canadian but native, so that causes a bureaucratic hassle in which she is not allowed to move from the border crossing. It makes the news and the authorities are properly mortified about how such a thing could happen.
Later, mother gets asked for nationality. She says blackfoot and they let her go.
