I am asking these questions for a friend.
Here is the base question:
How can a Congressionally terminated and self-terminated tribe which has never been Federally Chartered as an Indian Tribe by the United States nor has ever been re-recognized by the Congress of the United States . . .
1. Appear on the List of federally recognized tribes eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) by virtue of their status as Indian Tribes?
2. Take federal and state tax-payer funds specifically set aside for Indian tribes?
3. Be allowed to have job preferences for their Incorporated Citizens in the Department of Interior and other US Departments and Agencies?
4. Be allowed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the United States government as an Indian tribe?
5. Be allowed to have an Indian Gaming License?
Maybe some of these questions need to be asked and answered by each member of Congress, the entire leadership of the Department of Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and ultimately by the Department of Justice?
