PS: These are all my own personal thoughts ( Not my Tribes) and understanding of the history, regulation and contemplation over the elephant in the room, any new VALID info to change my mind is welcomed: "The States should not even have the authority or lack of regulation and oversight to knight ANY tribe they please given they the states are not all going by the same standards of verification and authentication and have less strenuous standards compared to the Federal level, but I can see the further west we go towards California Tribes I understand there are SOME cases where the state recognition is making up where the Federal level failed overall. At this point there needs to be a halt or freeze in on recognitions before greedy states and ill-willed start up tribes jeopardize and diminish the Sovereignty of Real Tribes whatever that means . Thanks for posting and bringing more attention and discussion to this HOT topic that needs a 5- 10 yr Investigation and planning Commission with heavily infused tribal input. All this I say because I care for the future of Sovereignty and observation of an issue that has been unchecked and put off for way too long.
