I posted some articles specific to the Duwamish, however, I did not explain what being recognized means.
"Federally recognized tribal communities often are non-supportive of the recognition efforts of tribal communities in part because they see the recognition of additional tribal communities as taking a share of currently inadequate and probably dwindling federal financial support from the federal government" (unfortunately, the author who wrote this is anonymous )
I believe this article found on proquest is very informative about federal recognitions. This article provides a greater more detailed aspect of the struggles that unrecognized tribes go through. The unknown author of this article provides a goal for unrecognized tribes.
"Ensuring that deserving federally non-recognized tribal communities gain recognition should be a primary goal for Indian country" (unknown). This is a great quote!

One final note:
Why is it that the author wishes to remain unknown?
