Native South: The Struggle for Federal Recognition in the 21st
Century As of 2018 the United States federal authorities have a
special government to government relationship with the 567
federally acknowledged Indian tribes.The Freedmen’s Quandary:
Crossroads of Tribal Identity in Indian Country The 1890 census
counted 18,636 people "of Negro descent in the Five Tribes" present
in the Indian Territory, communities who were made fully members of
the Five Tribes by treaties negotiated in 1866 with their
emancipation from slavery to the individual Cherokee, Creek,
Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole Nation citizens who held them in
bondage. Today their descendants are still known as the Freedmen,
and many have seen their long historical ties to the Five Tribes
being challenged, minimized, or severed.Last of the Dominickers,
For nearly 200 years’ outsiders in Florida’s panhandle viewed
suspiciously a group of people who didn’t fit the usual racial
categories of the day, these insular, independent, and rugged
families were called “Dominickers”, and said to be a mixture of
black, white, and Indian. Scholarship in the last few decades have
documented the groups ancestral ties tao native Americans in the
Virginia and Carolinas and to historic Free People of Color
populations that are as well progenitors of many other groups
including the Melungeons, Lumbees, Redbones, and other historic
“American Isolate” groups. Hodalee has several titles and all can
