	FAQs regarding Status of Tribes (Taxable vs. Nontaxable vs. Not Subject to Tax)
		Federally recognized tribes are subject to numerous federal laws that deal specifically with them about taxation.
		Federally recognized tribes are sovereign legal entities, similar to state governments.
		A Federally recognized tribe is one that has been granted this status by the Secretary of Interior, after applying for this status, and going through the proper steps to receive this recognition.

	Gibson v. Babbitt
		The limitation under the federal eagle permit system to federally recognized Indian tribes does not violate RFRA because the government has a compelling interest in protecting a species in demise and fulfilling pre-existing trust obligations to federally-recognized tribes in light of the limited supply of eagle parts.
		Therefore, the issue on appeal narrows to whether the regulation limiting applicants for eagle parts to members of federally recognized Indian tribes is the least restrictive means of furthering the United States' treaty obligations with the federally recognized Indian tribes.
		Therefore, we agree with the district court that the Government has met its evidentiary burden of proving that the requirement restricting the exemption to the BGEPA to members of a federally recognized Indian tribe is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest, and we affirm the district court's decision.

	PRIMER ON FEDERAL RECOGNITION
		Prior to 1978, federal acknowledgment of Indian tribes was accomplished by Congressional action, various forms of administrative decisions and the courts.
		Groups that are subject to federal legislation terminating or forbidding federal recognition as a tribe cannot be acknowledged under the FAP process.
		There will be plenty of activity on the recognition issue within the next six months especially in light of the BIA's strategic plans for change outlined in its response to the GAO report and the potential for Congressional activity in the second session of the 107th Congress on the recognition process reform legislation.

	DRS: Ruling 95-11, Sales and Use Taxes / Sales to Federally-Recognized Indian Tribes / Purchases by Contractors
		However, federal preemption of the states' power to impose excise taxes on Indian tribes or their members appears to apply only when sales are made within Indian country.
		In that case the federal preemption would not apply, because the use tax is not imposed "for sales made within Indian country," 132 L. Ed.
		By the same token, sales to contractors of materials and supplies that are to become physically incorporated in and become a permanent part of projects constructed for the Tribe within Indian country are likewise exempt from tax, as long as title to the materials and supplies passes within Indian country.

	Oregon Judicial Department Appellate Court Opinions
		Plaintiff argued that she was a resident of federally recognized Indian country in Oregon and therefore entitled to state income tax exemption under ORS 316.777.
		For income to be exempt under ORS 316.777, a taxpayer must be an enrolled member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, have income derived from within the boundaries of federally recognized Indian country, and reside in federally recognized Indian country.
		The issue is whether Plaintiff resided within "federally recognized Indian country in Oregon" in 1997 and therefore qualifies for the state income tax exemption provided under ORS 316.777.

	Casinos and state tribes
		The eastern tribes, in spite of the new federal Constitution which established federal supremacy over "commerce" with the tribes, were left to flounder in a sea of neglect, racism, and ambiguity.
		However, it is not generally recognized that state-recognized tribes which possess reserved lands (formerly known as "Indian towns" and later as reservations), also are likely to possess the same degree of sovereignty as federally-recognized tribes.
		It clearly does not come from federal recognition since the federal government could never extend sovereignty to a community located within the boundaries of a state (and every tribe is, nowadays, located within a state's external boundaries).

		However, the passage of termination policies during that decade ended federal recognition for 61 Indian tribes in six states and relocated tribal members to urban areas where they were expected to find jobs and assimilate.
		Federal courts have interpreted these treaties and other such agreements as creating a perpetual trust relationship with the federal government in accordance with the understandings of the Indians of the time.
		The federal government was clear that this was to remain Indian territory and that if it was ever to become a state, it would be one of the Indian's making.

	Native American Affairs and the Department of Defense (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Our central observation is that the President's April 29, 1994 meeting with the leaders of the nation's federally recognized Indian tribes symbolizes the growing ability of Native American leaders to influence the development and implementation of federal policies that affect their indigenous constituencies.
		We discuss the common elements of that history, recognizing that each federally recognized Indian tribe and each Native American group that has not been federally recognized has its own history of involvement with the federal government during the 18th and 19th centuries.
		Today, NCAI is recognized by Native Americans as the spokesorganization for all of the nation's federally recognized tribes.

	FAQs regarding Employee Plans and Exempt Organization Issues
		As a result of being an Indian tribe described in IRC section 7871 and being listed in Revenue Procedure 2002-64, a federally recognized tribe and/or its political subdivision is determined by the IRS to be an organization to which contributions may be tax deductible, as provided in IRC section 170.
		A federally recognized tribe that exercises sovereign powers generally will not qualify for exemption as a charitable organization under IRC section 501(c)(3) because the exercise of sovereign powers is not a charitable purpose as defined by IRC section 501(c)(3).
		Section 7871 of the Internal Revenue Code allows federally recognized tribes to be treated as states for specific purposes, but it does not allow them to receive donations under section 170(e).

	Tribal Alert! BIA Proposed Rule on Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood
		The Bureau appears to be using the proposed rule as a means to unilaterally "amend" both federal statutory and regulatory provisions without congressional oversight or formal rulemaking with respect to specific programs and services.
		In some cases, the Indian blood degree requirement for tribal membership (whether it be in a tribal constitution or ordinance) may not specify whether the blood must be that of a federally recognized tribe).
		The Allotment Act, the Snyder Act, the Indian Reorganization Act, and other federal statutes and regulations spanning more than a century, as well as the Bureau’s own policies and practices, confirm that the trust obligations of the United States to Indian people are not restricted to members of federally recognized tribes.

		Page 7]] who have left or never inhabited federally established reservations, or Indians 'who do not possess the usual accoutrements of tribal self-government,' McClanahan, supra, at 167-168, 36 L.Ed.2d 129, 93 S.Ct. 1257; see Mescalero Apache Tribe, 411 U.S., at 148-149, 36 L.Ed.2d 114, 93 S.Ct. 1267." 426 U.S. at 376, note 2.
		Because the federal government either holds a parcel in trust or has imposed a restriction on its alienation or encumbrance, the encumbrance of that land by a tax lien and any resulting attempt to foreclose that lien would be contrary to federal law.
		Thus, as a matter of both federal and state law, reservation land owned by an Indian and held in trust by the United States or subject to a restriction against alienation is exempt from ad valorem taxation.

	GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED INDIAN TRIBES IN THE STATE OF INDIANA
		The Wea Indians in Indiana are NOT a recognized tribe by the Indiana State Government, or the U.S. Federal Government, or the D.O.I., or the B.I.A. There are some people who "think" that the Wea are recognized.
		The Wea People in Indiana have yet to appeal their status to the State or Federal Government, because they were newly reformed as a Tribal People in 1999.
		In time, the Native American Indians Affairs Commission could possibly have addressed the issue of the fact that there is NO State or Federal Indian Tribes in Indiana, and could have possibly been allowed to work up the structure, rules and guidelines for state recognized tribes in Indiana, because these (the paperwork) don't exist either.

	TEAC Federally Recognized
		In granting federal recognition, Paige was acting on the unanimous recommendation, made in June, of the Department’s National Advisory Committee on Institution Quality and Integrity (NACIQI), the panel that examined TEAC’s qualifications.
		However, five states now require that the teacher education programs in their public and private colleges and universities be accredited, and, with growing concern about the quality of the nation’s teachers, that number is expected to increase.
		Although most states requiring accreditation stipulate that the accrediting agency must be federally recognized, until 1992, federal regulations limited the schools’ choice of accreditors to one agency, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
