Unrecognizable?
Virginia's tribes continue to be denied federal recognition, despite being frequently employed as eye-candy for state events, and despite the fact that evidently 8 out of every 10 white men in America is a descendent of Pocahantas. The story is the same; racism (Virginia unilaterally reclassified all its Indians as "colored" last century), politics (they don't DARE even hint at casinos), and the usual ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity.

What is happening to the Virginia tribes is flat out wrong. This do nothing Congress...well the last few do nothing Congresses are just ridiculous.
We are having our own tribal issues out west, but this time, it's the tribes fault.
They are wielding sovereignty like a club against their own people.
Yeah, sadly the smaller tribes that are purging members in order to boost their per caps are signing their own death warrants. They will be extinct within a generation at the rate they are going.
