250 Unrecognized Tribes in the US

Here's good introductory article that discusses the Little Shell Band - a group of 250 unrecognized tribes in the US. However the article is from 1997 so its a little outdated. We can see what tribes were facing a decade ago in terms of petitioning congress for recognition. As you'll read it's an extremely expensive endeavor ($50,000 to $150,000) regardless of the result. So check out the article and hopefully we can identify some changes that have occurred over the past ten years.
