It is so strange, a process to have federal recognition in order to have autonomy. So many agencies and persons that are not native nor indigneous to this land involved. Before we can get federal recognition a new statute is implemented to further prevent self-determination, self-governance, and autonomy to my nation. http://countytimes.com/articles/2013/07/11/news/doc51ddf8f270220528954626.txt How come this did not apply to our nation tribe.
