List of organizations that self-identify as Native American tribes

December 15, 2023

These organizations self-identify as Native American tribes or heritage groups, but have not been recognized as independent tribes by the established Native American tribes or by the US federal or state governments.

For groups that are recognized by the government of the United States as Native American tribes and tribal nations, see List of federally recognized tribes in the contiguous United States and List of Alaska Native tribal entities. For groups that are recognized by state governments as Native American tribes, see State-recognized tribes in the United States.

Most of these organizations are not accepted as being Native American by established Native American tribes. Exceptions include tribes whose previous recognition was terminated, especially in California under the California Rancheria Termination Acts. Certain historic tribes in California signed treaties in 1851 and 1852 that the U.S. Senate secretly rejected after being pressured from the State of California; many of these historic tribes remain unrecognized.[1]

The following groups claim to be of Native American, American Indian, Alaska Native, or Métis heritage by ethnicity but have no federal recognition through the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA),[2] United States Department of the Interior Office of the Solicitor (SOL), and are not recognized by any state government in the United States nor by any recognized Indigenous nations. Some of the organizations are regarded as fraudulent and called Corporations Posing as Indigenous Nations (CPAIN).[3]

  • Gabrieliño-Tongva Tribe, also known as the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians. In 1994, the State of California recognized the Gabrieliño-Tongva Tribe in Assembly Joint Resolution 96, Resolution Chapter 146 of the Statutes of 1994; however, it has no state-recognized tribes today.[35] The tribe, however, has broken into several factions, some of whom are seeking federal recognition as separate tribes. The three largest and most prominent factions are:
    • Gabrieliño-Tongva Tribe[36] (or the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, as it was historically referred to)
    • Gabrieleño/Tongva Tribal Council of San Gabriel[37]
    • Gabrieleño/Tongva Nation, also Gabrieliño/Tongva Tribe of the Los Angeles Basin).[6]
In past years, bills have been introduced in the California legislature to create a Gabrieliño-Tongva Reservation for the tribe and grant the tribe gaming rights; however, these bills failed to make it to the Governor's desk. In their most recent attempt, Senate Bill 1134 introduced on January 30, 2008 would have created the Gabrieliño/Tongva Reservation without giving the tribe gaming rights. However, when the principal author, Senator Oropeza, found out that the tribe would use the reservation for leverage to obtain gaming rights, she pulled her sponsorship of the bill.[38]

Tongva Tribe also known as the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians In 1994 the State of California recognized the Gabrielino Tongva Tribe in Assembly Joint Resolution 96 Resolution Chapter 146 of the Statutes of 1994 however it has no state recognized tribes today 35 The tribe however has broken into several factions some of whom are seeking federal recognition as separate tribes The three largest and most prominent factions are Gabrielino Tongva Tribe 36 or the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians as it was historically referred to Gabrieleno Tongva Tribal Council of San Gabriel 37 Gabrieleno Tongva Nation also Gabrielino Tongva Tribe of the Los Angeles Basin 6 In past years bills have been introduced in the California legislature to create a Gabrielino Tongva Reservation for the tribe and grant the tribe gaming rights however these bills failed to make it to the Governor s desk In their most recent attempt Senate Bill 1134 introduced on January 30 2008 would have created the Gabrielino Tongva Reservation without giving the tribe gaming rights However when the principal author Senator Oropeza found out that the tribe would use the reservation for leverage to obtain gaming rights she pulled her sponsorship of the bill 38 Honey Lake Maidu Letter of Intent to Petition 06 01 2000 6 Receipt of Petition 06 01 2000 8 Hownonquet Community Association 9 11 Indian Canyon Band of Coastanoan
