Federal Recognition Process

The Federal Recognition Process is a formal administrative procedure by which the United States government determines the legitimacy of a Native American group’s claim to sovereign tribal status, distinguishing it from other indigenous or historical groups by establishing a government-to-government relationship grounded in legal, historical, and genealogical criteria.
