My job incorrectly thinks I'm Native American, should I tell them?

I don't want to dox myself, but I've been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and.. As far as my job is concerned I'm Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up.

I couldn't find an easy way to change it and I'd rather not talk to HR if it's not a big deal. So, forget about it? Call HR?

Lean into it. See if you can get your Native American card and leverage that for some of that casino money

You have to be a tribal member to get casino money. You can't just roll up and say "I'm a 16th Cherokee, where's mah money?!" Some tribes have even started to disenroll people, which has led to some ugliness.
