I am curious as to people's feelings and thoughts regarding tribes that are 
recognized by the state only. Surely we are all aware of the dubious nature 
f
some of these, but in general; a positive step toward full recognition, or a 
muddying of an already unclear political situation?
I understand that the controversial (and somewhat questionable) Georgia 
Cherokee Confederacy, one of several state-recognized Cherokee tribes, has 
applied for federal recognition. They've probably done it numerous times 
before, as have hundreds of other groups.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
