Congress has identified the Department of the Interior as the lead agency to address federal recognition issues. Tribes must undergo a federal recognition process before recognition can be granted per 25 U.S.C. § 211. For additional information you may wish to contact directly the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the U.S. Department of the Interior.
