Alphabetical Index of State Recognized Tribes
The state recognition of tribes has gotten completely out of hand and meaningless. States, thinking that there may be Federal Funding for state recognition coming to their state or in an attempt to bring casinos to their state so they can get some of the droppings, are passing out state recognition freely and without any attempt at defining the cultural heritage of the groups. It will only get worse.

Yeah. Pretty incredible. Eleven tribes. Got a tribe you want recognized in Virginia? Now's your chance. No. I don't know why this is happening. Go figure. How about we just do away with state recognition. It's certainly getting abused. While we're at it, let's do away with Federal Recognition in asmuch as it relates to our tax dollars. No jobs where you're at? Move.
Tribes: See note below.
I would like to acknowledge the help received from the Census Bureau in compiling this list. Unfortunately, they erred on some of their data. They originally claimed that Massachusetts had several state recognized tribes and also claimed West Virginia had the tribe above. This is erroneous. The AAIWV is not a tribe at all.
