State-recognized Indians The process for federal recognition of a tribe always has been and is likely to remain complex and difficult for most Native tribes to achieve. However, some tribes have been able to gain State recognition meaning that these tribes are recognized by individual states for their various state government purposes. In 1924, Virginia’s Racial Integrity act was enforced and genealogical records by officials who enforced this act. The Racial Integrity Act had declared that “colored” and “white” people were the only people that existed in Virginia, however the consequences of this act has made it nearly impossible for these Indians to gain any kind of recognition in the future. Some groups that are not federally recognized have still achieved state recognition. Various states, most in the East, have a recognition process independent of federal recognition. Some examples of state-recognized tribes are the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and the Houma Tribe of Louisiana. Footnotes Bibliography Barrett, Barbara.
