In the News- Pamunkey Tribe
Virginia’s Pamunkey Indian Tribe says it has cleared a major hurdle in its bid for federal recognition.The tribe announced Friday that the U.S. assistant secretary for
Indian affairs has endorsed its petition for recognition, which would
make members eligible for special benefits in education, housing and
medical care.The recommendation comes
more than three years after the tribe presented the Bureau of Indian
Affairs thousands of pages of documents verifying its history.
Mark Tilden, an attorney for the tribe, said a 180-day comment period is
the next step in a regulatory process that could take about a year.
