Slowly trying to find the connection

I noticed on Gedmatch I inherited more of the Native genes from my dad than my mom. The same is for my brother as well. He inherited the Native genes from my dad and very little from our mom.

I am not a tribal member but hopefully somewhere I match with our members on Gedmatch and can figure out how about or if I am able to be enrolled. I have tested my mom, brother, sister, niece, my 1st cousin. My gedmatch number is VV041506C1. I have been a part of Cherokeeregistry since 2009 and am thrilled to find family I had been searching for. I did not grow up knowing of my Cherokee heritage until later in life. My 94 yr old Great Aunt was still afraid to say she was Cherokee due to the horrible treatment she received in her younger years, however, her sister was very proud of her heritage.
