Short Abstract:
State-recognized tribes share a common history with federally recognized tribes. Both share a history of treaty relations with the authorized government – with state-recognized tribes often entering into treaties with the independent States prior to formation of the Union. Both share a history of continuous political existence despite the vacillating policies and pressures of the dominant society – with many state-recognized tribes located on the eastern seaboard having to endure those policies for decades longer than many other federally recognized tribes. And both share a history of Congressional action with regard to their lands, their health, their homes and their culture.
