I have added this page as a resource aid for those seeking information with regard to Native American Peoples. It is the complete, as is found, listing as of 11/20/01. It is interesting and informative to be sure, but the real reason I put it here is hopefully to keep some of you from getting lost in the maze of “government” cyber mazes, I sure did. In fact, had my ‘puter been facing the window instead of the wall, I would have pushed it out the window several times! Lol!
At any rate, I hope it aids you...

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the current list of 556 tribal entities recognized and eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs by virtue of their status as Indian tribes. This notice is published pursuant to Section 104 of the Act of November 2, 1994 (Pub. L. 103-454; 108 Stat. 4791, 4792).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daisy West, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Division of Tribal Government Services, MS-4631-MIB, 1849 C Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20240. Telephone number: (202) 208-2475.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published in exercise of authority delegated to the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs under 25 U.S.C. 2 and 9 and 209 DM 8.
Published below are lists of federally acknowledged tribes in the contiguous 48 states and in Alaska. The list is updated from the one published on December 30, 1998 (63 FR 71941), to include name changes or corrections, and two additional tribal entities that were acknowledged under 25 CFR Part 83. Those tribal entities are the Match-e-be-nash-she-wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan, and the Snoqualmie Tribe. The final determinations for federal acknowledgment became effective on August 23, 1999, and October 6, 1999, respectively.
The listed entities are acknowledged to have the immunities and privileges available to other federally acknowledged Indian tribes by virtue of their government-to-government relationship with the United States as well as the responsibilities, powers, limitations and obligations of such tribes. We have continued the practice of listing the Alaska Native entities separately solely for the purpose of facilitating identification of them and reference to them given the large number of complex Native names.
Dated: March 3, 2000
Kevin Gover, Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs
