If your kids are American Indians, then you and/or your husband must be too. Just go to your tribal council office and they will issue you the required document of indigenous lineage. If your kids are not American Indians, then contact your state's Department of Health and request information on health coverage for minors.
2 :
Usually, if your kid is part indian, they were registered with a tribe at birth. You'd use that registration. If they're part indian, but not registered, you'd have to get genetic testing - or the birth parent who IS registered, and listed on their birth certificate, could then register them. So. Are they registered? Or is a parent registered? Or a grandparent? If none of them are registered, you'll have to do the genetic testing.

The children must be citizens of a “Federally Recognized Tribe” and have a tribal roll number. As with any Nation, genetic testing does not qualify them for citizenship. .
