About this listen
What does federal recognition actually mean, and what does it not mean?
This episode explains what federal recognition is in legal and political terms, how it is granted, and why it does not create a tribe or its people. We clarify the difference between recognition and sovereignty, explain the government-to-government relationship it establishes, and outline why unrecognized tribes can still be real governments while nonprofits can never be recognized as tribes.
By understanding federal recognition correctly, listeners can avoid common misconceptions and better evaluate claims of tribal authority made by organizations, institutions, and public figures.
