Re: Federally Registered Tribes List?

The official list of federally recognized tribes is periodically published in
the Federal Register (an official United States government publication) with
additions made to the list periodically to reflect new recognitions by the
Bureau of Acknowledgement and Recognition of the BIA. To check on a particular
tribe legally one must find the last periodic list and update for that tribe
(if not listed) in later issues of the Federal Register. Any federal government
document depository library should have the Federal Register available.

Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge the list is not available on the
Internet. An older, probably now outdated, copy is available on the Iowa Indian
Defense Network at the number listed below.

Can anyone send me a list, or can anyone tell me where I can get in
cyberspace, a list of all "546 federally registered American Indian
Tribes"? Preferrably in alphabetical order?

Thanx,

Comments from NativeNet moderator, Gary Trujillo (gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us):

I'll send Catalina the (incomplete) list I have, which contains a mixture
of tribal offices and community centers, and I'll make a copy available via
the "filelist" archives at TAMVM1, in case anyone else is interested in the
information.

To retrieve the list, send a message to "listserv@tamvm1.tamu.edu" containing
the text:

get tribes list-01 native-l

(that's the numeral "1" in "tamvm1" and the letter "l" in "native-l").

If anyone has more complete information, and can help us to expand the list,
please let me know.
