Autonomous must be understood in the context of the history, geography, culture and social organization of the petitioning group, in context of local history. Community means any group sharing common characteristics or interests that perceives itself as distinct in some respect from the nonmembers. Social relationships exist within its membership and that its members identify themselves as distinct from nonmembers. Community must be understood in the context of the history, geography, culture and social organization of the group. The people in the community must show interactions and social relationships exist within said community. [NOTE: This draft also incorporates the definition into criteria at 83.7(b)]. Continental United States means the contiguous 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii and American territories. Continuously or continuous means extending from first sustained contact with non-indians throughout the group's history 1934 to the present substantially without interruption. [NOTE: This draft also incorporates the definition into criteria at 83.7(b) and (c)]. This definition should take into consideration of the local, regional history. In the southern United States American Indians and African Americans dealt with the following issues: Jim Crowe laws, Ku-Klux Klan and segregation laws. As a result state employees in many cases destroyed genealogical and historical records during. This clearly happened when officials enforcing Virginia s Racial Integrity Act of 1924 destroyed records of Virginia's Indian tribes. The Act declared that only white and colored people existed in Virginia. In addition, birth records for Native Americans were changed to indicate individuals were colored instead of American Indian, effectively eliminating all documentary evidence of Indians within the state. Consequently, even those tribes that have inhabited Virginia s Indian reservations for nearly 400 years have little chance of becoming recognized in the foreseeable future. The Racial Integrity Act of 1924, was also was used in Alabama, and other southern states.4 83.1 Definitions Historically, historical or history means dating from first sustained contact with non-indians. Tribes that descend from the same common historical tribe as an existing recognized tribes or bands should not be required to reestablish the history of the historical tribe from contact, but rather show descent from the historical tribe through their oral tradition, genealogy or some other method taking into account local history and the unique difficulties faced by the tribe. Indian group or group means any Indian or Alaska Native aggregation within the continental United States that the Secretary of the Interior does not acknowledge to be an Indian tribe, despite his obligation to do so under the Constitution and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Informed party means any person or organization, other than an interested party, who requests an opportunity to submit comments or evidence or to be kept informed of general actions regarding a specific petitioner. The petition group shall be given the contact information regarding an informed party and be provided copies of any submissions made by such party, by the Department. Interested party means any person, organization or other entity, who can establish a legal, factual or property interest in an acknowledgment determination and who requests an opportunity to submit comments or evidence or to be kept informed of general actions regarding a specific petitioner. ``Interested party'' includes the governor and attorney general of the state in which a petitioner is located, and may include, but is not limited to, local governmental units, and any recognized Indian tribes and unrecognized Indian groups that might be affected by an acknowledgment determination. All comments will be provided by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the petitioning group that any interested party submits Definitions Political influence or authority means the ability of a tribal council, leadership, internal process or other mechanism to shape and control the political behavior of others and to lead and guide their behavior in the direction desired by the power. Political power is the capacity of the tribal council, leadership, internal process or other mechanism to influence, condition, mold, and control human behavior for the accomplishment of political objectives. Also, the tribal council, leadership, internal process or other mechanism representing the group possess the power of dealing with outsiders in matters of consequence. This process is to be understood in the context of the history, culture and social organization of the group. [NOTE: This draft also incorporates this definition into criteria at 83.7(c)]. Sustained contact means the period of earliest sustained non-indian settlement and/or governmental presence in the local area in which a tribe or specific group is named and the petitioner descends from. Tribes that descend from the same common historical tribe as existing recognized tribes or bands should not be required to reestablish the history of the historical tribe5 from contact, but rather show descent from the historical tribe through their oral tradition, genealogy or some other method taking into account local history and the unique difficulties faced by the tribe Scope. (c) Associations, organizations, corporations or groups of any character that have been formed since 2006 may not be acknowledged under these regulations. The fact that a group that meets the criteria in 83.7 (ab) through (g) has recently incorporated or otherwise formalized its existing autonomous political process will be viewed as a change in form and have no bearing on the Assistant Secretary's final Department s decision. (d) Splinter groups, political factions, communities or groups of any character that separate from the main body of a currently federal or state acknowledged tribe may not be acknowledged under these regulations. However, groups that can establish that they have has functioned as an autonomous tribal entity may be acknowledged under this part, even though they have been regarded by some as part of or have been associated in some manner with an acknowledged North American Indian tribe. (e) Further, groups which are, or the members of which are, subject to congressional legislation terminating or forbidding the Federal relationship may be acknowledged under this part. (f) Finally, Groups that previously petitioned and were denied Federal acknowledgment under these regulations or under previous regulations in part 83 of this title, may be acknowledged under these regulations; those have maintained their tribal identity. Therefore, the petitioning groups may reapply for federal recognition. Splinter groups, spin offs, or component groups of any type may reapply under subsection (d) Filing a letter of documented petition. (a) Any Indian group in the continental United States or territories that believes it should be acknowledged as an Indian tribe, village, pueblo and that it can satisfy the criteria in 83.7 this part may submit a letter of petition under this part.6 83.5 Duties of the Department.

A tribe should be expedited with the following: state recognized and has the same or similar criteria as OFA. Own their own land and is recorded in the tribe s name, owns a tribal owned business, assist tribal families with various social programs, educational assistance. (i) The Department may accept evidence the petitioner volunteers in support of criterion (g), but the petitioner is not required to provide any evidence for criterion (g). (ii) The Department will determine whether the petitioner meets criterion (g). (c) A In order for tribal existence to be acknowledged, a petitioner must: (1) Meet three of the mandatory criteria in paragraphs (ad), (e), (f), and (g) of 83.7 and one of the expedited favorable criteria as follows state recognized by a state with similar or same criteria as OFA, owns land in the tribe s name and recorded in the local county courthouse, owns a tribal business. (2) If neither of the expedited favorable criteria is met, meet all the mandatory criteria in paragraphs (b) through (g) of 83.7 in order for tribal existence to be acknowledged. Therefore, the documented petition must include thorough explanations and supporting documentation in response to all of the criteria. The definitions in 83.1 are an integral part of the regulations, and the criteria should be read carefully together with these definitions. or The mandatory criteria are as follows: At least 30 percent of the petitioning group comprises a distinct community and has existed as a community from 2006 until the present. Without a period greater than 20 years of interruption. Distinct community means a group of people with consistent interactions and significant social relationships within its membership and whose members are differentiated from and identified as distinct from nonmembers. Distinct community must be understood in the context of the history, geography, culture and social organization of the group. (i) A 40 % of marriage within the group, and/or, as may be culturally required, patterned out-marriages with other Indian populations. (ii) Significant social relationships connecting individual members. (iii) Significant rates of informal social interaction which exist broadly among the members of a group. (iv) A significant degree of shared or cooperative labor or other economic activity among the membership. (v) Evidence of strong patterns of discrimination or other social distinctions by non-members.8 (vi) Shared sacred or secular ritual activity encompassing most of the group. (vii) Cultural patterns shared among a significant portion of the group that is different from those of the non-indian populations with whom it interacts. These patterns must function as more than a symbolic identification of the group as Indian. They may include, but are not limited to, language, kinship organization, or religious beliefs and practices system, or ceremonies. (viii) The persistence of a named, collective Indian identity continuously over a period of more than 50 years, notwithstanding changes in name. (ix) A demonstration of historical political influence under the criterion in 83.7(c) shall be evidence for demonstrating historical community for that same time period. d) A petitioner may be denied acknowledgment if the evidence available is insufficient evidence to show that it meets the requirements for an expedited favorable finding, four of of the mandatory criteria, or one or more of the expedite criteria applicable to petitioners that establish previous Federal acknowledgment. (1) A criterion shall be considered met if the available evidence establishes: (i) A preponderance of the evidence supports the validity of the facts claimed when viewed in the light most favorable to the petitioner. Preponderance the meaning is somewhat subjective. (ii) The facts establish a reasonable likelihood of the validity of the facts relating to that the criterion is met. (2) Conclusive proof of the facts relating to a criterion shall not be required in order for the criterion to be considered met. (e) Evaluation of petitions shall take into account historical situations and time periods for which evidence is demonstrably limited or not available. The limitations inherent in demonstrating the historical existence of community and political influence or authority shall also be taken into account. Existence of community and political influence or authority shall be demonstrated on a substantially continuous basis, but this demonstration does not require meeting these criteria at every point in time. Fluctuations in tribal activity during various years shall not in themselves be a cause for denial of acknowledgment under these criteria. [NOTE: This draft also incorporates this concept into criteria at 83.7(b)(3) and (c)(4)] Mandatory criteria for Federal acknowledgment. The mandatory criteria are: (a) [Deleted]. The petitioner has been identified as an American Indian entity on a substantially continuous basis since Evidence that the group's character as an Indian entity has from time to time been denied shall not be considered to be conclusive evidence that this criterion has not been met. Evidence to be relied upon in determining a group's Indian identity may include one or a combination of the following, as well as other evidence of identification by other than the petitioner itself or its members. (1) Identification as an Indian entity by Federal authorities.9 (2) Relationships with State governments based on identification of the group as Indian. (3) Dealings with a county, parish, or other local government in a relationship based on the group's Indian identity. (4) Identification as an Indian entity by anthropologists, historians, and/or other scholars. (5) Identification as an Indian entity in newspapers and books. (6) Identification as an Indian entity in relationships with Indian tribes or with national, regional, or state Indian organizations. (1) This criterion may be demonstrated by some combination of the following evidence and/or other evidence that the petitioner meets the definition of community set forth in 83.1: (i) Significant rates of marriage within the group, and/or, as may be culturally required, patterned out-marriages with other Indian populations. (ii) Significant social relationships connecting individual members. (iii) Significant rates of informal social interaction which exist broadly among the members of a group. (iv) A significant degree of shared or cooperative labor or other economic activity among the membership. (v) Evidence of strong patterns of discrimination or other social distinctions by non-members. (vi) Shared sacred or secular ritual activity encompassing most of the group. (b) At least 30 percent of the petitioning group comprises a distinct community and has existed as a community from recent times, including the regional history until the present. The petitioning tribal community had an interruption greater than 50 years. Distinct community means a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the nonmembers. Community must be understood in the context of the history, geography, culture and social organization of the group. The people in the community must show interactions and social relationships exist within said community. A group of people with consistent interactions and significant social relationships within its membership and whose members are differentiated from and identified as distinct from nonmembers. Distinct community must be understood in the context of the history, geography, culture and social organization of the group. Substantial interruption is determined on a case-by-case basis considering the history and circumstances of the petitioning group. (2) A petitioner shall be considered to have provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate community at a given point in time if evidence is provided to demonstrate any one of the following: (i) More than 30 percent of the members reside in a geographical area exclusively or almost exclusively composed of members of the group, and the balance of the group maintains consistent interaction with some members of the community; (ii) At least 30 percent of the group members maintain distinct cultural patterns10 such as, but not limited to, language, kinship organization, or religious beliefs and practices system, or ceremonies; (iii) There are distinct community social institutions encompassing most of the members, such as kinship organizations, formal or informal economic cooperation, or religious organizations; or (iv) The group has met the criterion in 83.7(c) using evidence described in 83.7(c)(2). (3) The limitations inherent in demonstrating the existence as an Indian distinct community that has existed since 2006 without interruption greater than 50 years shall be taken into account. Petitioners may provide information and background for time periods prior to 2006, but the information and background will be considered only to the extent relevant to an analysis of the group from 2006 to the present. [NOTE: This paragraph is repeated from 83.6(e)]. (c) The petitioner has maintained political influence over its members as an autonomous Indian group from 2006 considering the local history as relating to American Indians until the present without substantial interruption. Political influence or authority means the ability of a tribal council, leadership, internal process or other mechanism to shape and control the political behavior of others and to lead and guide their behavior in the direction desired by the power. Political power is the capacity of the tribal council, leadership, internal process or other mechanism to influence, condition, mold, and control human behavior for the accomplishment of political objectives. Also, the tribal council, leadership, internal process or other mechanism representing the group possess the power of dealing with outsiders in matters of consequence. This process is to be understood in the context of the history, culture and social organization of the group.

(ii) Most of the membership considers issues acted upon or actions taken by group leaders or governing bodies to be of importance. (iii) There is widespread knowledge, communication and involvement in political processes by most of the group's members. (iv) The group meets the criterion in 83.7(b) at more than a minimal level. (v) There are internal conflicts which show controversy over valued group goals, properties, policies, processes and/or decisions. (2) A petitioning group shall be considered to have provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate the exercise of political influence or authority at a given point in time by demonstrating that group leaders and/or other mechanisms existed which provided at least one of the following:11 (i) Allocate group resources such as land, residence rights and the like on a consistent basis. (ii) Settle disputes between members or subgroups by mediation or other means on a regular basis; (iii) Exert strong influence on the behavior of individual members, such as the establishment or maintenance of norms and the enforcement of sanctions to direct or control behavior; (iv) Organize or influence economic subsistence activities among the members, including shared or cooperative labor; (v) Show a continuous line of group leaders and a means of selection or acquiescence by a majority of the group s members. (3) A group that has met the requirements in paragraph 83.7(b)(2) at a given point in time shall be considered to have provided sufficient evidence to meet this criterion at that point in time. 13 (4) The limitations inherent in demonstrating the existence of political influence or authority that has existed since 2006 depending on the local history where the tribe is located without substantial interruption shall be taken into account. Petitioners may provide information and background for time periods prior to 2006, but the information and background will be considered only to the extent relevant to an analysis of the group from 2006 to the present. [NOTE: This paragraph is repeated from 83.6(e)]. (d) A copy of the group's present governing document including its membership criteria. In the absence of a written document, the petitioner must provide a statement describing in full its membership criteria and current governing procedures. (e) At least 30 percent of the petitioner's membership consists of individuals who descend from a historical Indian tribe or from historical Indian tribes from the region the tribe is located which combined and functioned as a single autonomous political entity. History recordings usually recorded tribe as Creek, Cherokee, and Apache or by name of villages. (1) Evidence acceptable to the Secretary which can be used for this purpose includes but is not limited to: (i) Rolls prepared by the Secretary on a descendancy basis for purposes of distributing claims money, providing allotments, or other purposes; (ii) State, Federal, or other official records or evidence identifying present members or ancestors of present members as being descendants of a historical tribe or tribes that combined and functioned as a single autonomous political entity. (iii) Church, school, and other similar enrollment records identifying present members or ancestors of present members as being descendants of a historical tribe or tribes that combined and functioned as a single autonomous political entity.12 (iv) Affidavits of recognition by tribal elders, leaders, or the tribal governing body identifying present members or ancestors of present members as being descendants of a historical tribe or tribes that combined and functioned as a single autonomous political entity. (v) Historians and anthropologists conclusions drawn from historical records, and historical records created by historians and anthropologists. The historians and anthropologist cannot be a member of petitioning tribe, member of a Federal recognized tribe nor have performed work for another tribe, OFA (BAR), as an employee, or consultant. (2) The petitioner must provide an official membership list, separately certified by the group's governing body, of all known current members of the group. This list must include each member's full name (including maiden name), date of birth, and current residential and mailing address. The petitioner must also provide a copy of each available former list of members based on the group's own defined criteria, as well as a statement describing the circumstances surrounding the preparation of the current list and, insofar as possible, the circumstances surrounding the preparation of former lists. (f) The membership of the petitioning group is composed principally of persons who are not members of any acknowledged North American Indian tribe. However, under certain conditions a petitioning group may be acknowledged even if its membership is composed principally of persons whose names have appeared on rolls of, or who have been otherwise associated with, an acknowledged Indian tribe. The conditions are that the group must establish that its members have provided written confirmation of their membership in the petitioning group.: (1) It has functioned from 1986 (depending on the local history where the tribe is located without substantial interruption shall be taken into account), until the present as a separate and autonomous Indian tribal entity; (2) Its members do not maintain a bilateral political relationship with the acknowledged tribe; and (3) Its members have provided written confirmation of their membership in the petitioning group. (g) Neither the petitioner nor its members are the subject of congressional legislation that has expressly terminated or forbidden the Federal relationship. The Department must determine whether the petitioner meets this criterion, and the petitioner is not required to submit evidence to meet it Previous Federal acknowledgment. (a) Unambiguous previous Federal acknowledgment is acceptable evidence of the tribal character of a petitioner to the date of the last such previous acknowledgment. If a petitioner provides substantial evidence of previous Federal acknowledgment, such as signing treaty by one of the ancestors the petitioner will then only be required to demonstrate that it meets the requirements of 83.7 to the extent required by this section.13 (b) A determination of the adequacy of the evidence of previous Federal action acknowledging tribal status shall be made during the technical assistance review of the documented petition conducted pursuant to 83.10(b). If a petition is awaiting active consideration at the time of adoption of these regulations, this review will be conducted while the petition is under active consideration unless the petitioner requests in writing that this review be made in advance. (c) Evidence to demonstrate previous Federal acknowledgment includes, but is not limited to: (1) Evidence that the group has had treaty relations with the United States. An ancestor that the group comes from could be a signature on the treaty. (2) Evidence that the group has been denominated a tribe by act of Congress or Executive Order (3) Evidence that the group has been treated by the Federal Government as having collective rights in tribal lands or funds. (This could involve class action lawsuits e.g. Keepseagle Farmers and Ranchers Lawsuits, Docket claims. Etc.) (d) To be acknowledged, a petitioner that can demonstrate previous Federal acknowledgment must show that: (1) The group meets the requirements of the criterion in 83.7(a), except that such identification shall be demonstrated since the point of last Federal acknowledgment. The group must further have been identified by such sources as the same tribal group that was previously acknowledged or as a portion that has evolved from that group. Historical recordings usually recorded tribes as a large group Creek, Cherokee or Apache, etc or name of a village. (2) The group meets the requirements of the criterion in 83.7(b) to demonstrate that it comprises a distinct community at present. Distinct community means a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the nonmembers. Community must be understood in the context of the history, geography, culture and social organization of the group. The people in the community must show interactions and social relationships exist within said community. This is the definition that should be used in the 83.7(b). However, it need not provide evidence to demonstrate existence as a community historically; and (3) The group meets the requirements of the criterion in 83.7(ccb) to demonstrate that political influence or authority is exercised within the group at present. Sufficient evidence to meet the criterion in 83.7(c) from the point of last Federal acknowledgment to the present may be provided by demonstration of substantially continuous historical identification, by authoritative, knowledgeable external sources, of leaders and/or a governing body who exercise political influence or authority, together with demonstration of one form of evidence listed in 83.7(c). (4) The group meets the requirements of the criteria in paragraphs 83.7 (d) through (g). (5) If a petitioner which has demonstrated previous Federal acknowledgment cannot meet the requirements in paragraphs (d) (1) and (3), the petitioner may demonstrate alternatively that it meets the requirements of the criteria in 83.7 (a) through (c) from last Federal acknowledgment until the present.14 83.9 Notice of receipt of a petition.
