Hey,
State recognition is far ahead of federal for tribes in Virginia and North Carolina that have significant European and African mixture. Federal recognition of the Lumbee was held up by Helms's opposition to it, but now Dole has come over on that issue and it looks much more likely. Virginia's state-recognized tribes have been expressing a lot of discontent lately, often in the news.
