This doesn’t actually contradict anything I said (maybe you never intended to contradict me?). But yes you are in fact correct.

- solardev 3y agoSorry, I wasn't trying to contradict anything you said, just noting that it's not so much "what they call themselves" that determines their status, but whether they were able to secure federal recognition before the treaties stopped.
- CogitoCogito 3y agoI see yes this was my original point (though you expanded a bit more than I did). The question of whether they call themselves a tribe or a nation or something else doesn’t really have much bearing on things.
- solardev 3y agoGotcha. Sorry, didn't mean to make it seem like I was trying to correct anything. Apologies if it looked that way. Just wanted to share the info with people who might not be familiar with tribal governments in the US (it's super complicated!) But you're totally right, the name itself doesn't mean much.
