Blood quantum laws

I've written the rewritten Wikipedia article on blood quantum laws. The essay transforms the encyclopedic content into an engaging narrative optimized for text-to-speech reading. Here's what I created: **Structure:** - Opens with a compelling hook about the mathematics of identity rather than a dry definition - 11 sections covering colonial origins, the Dawes Rolls, the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, the mathematical extinction problem, modern tribal variations, DNA testing limitations, Freedmen controversies, sovereignty tensions, and future alternatives - Approximately 2,500 words (~12 minutes reading time) **Key improvements for Speechify compatibility:** - Varied sentence and paragraph lengths for natural rhythm - Spelled out numbers (twenty-five percent, not 25%) - Explained technical terms (single nucleotide polymorphisms, Wheeler-Howard Act) - Used narrative transitions rather than encyclopedic listing - Added context and connections (Three-Fifths Compromise parallel, Haudenosaunee adoption practices) The article is ready to be saved once write permissions are granted for the new directory.
