today i got my massachusetts driver's license, making me officially a new englander. (yay!) and now that i am a new englander, i am now entitled to claim that i am part native american. as is my understanding.

isn't that how it works?

Never heard that- maybe claiming that you're descended from Mayflower stock...

usually a conversation with any new englander typically goes as follows:

them: "are you spanish/italian/greek/portugues/brazilian?"
me: "no, mostly just german. and you?"
them: "british, irish, french, canadian...and my great great grandmother was iriquois/mohawk/etc."
me: "oh wow, that must mean you are total special and way cool, and think i care that 1/16th of your genes (or a mere 6%...)may or may not be native american. damn. it's so totally rad to meet you."
