When the U.S. govt rescinded our #federalrecognition status in 2002, we lost our right to self-determination & access to much needed resources & services. Today, we're fighting to protect & preserve our nation.

A thread 🧵 on what federal recognition means for #ChinookJustice
1/7. #federalrecognition means the U.S. govt acknowledges the right of an Indian tribe as a sovereign entity. A federally recognized tribe can directly engage with the U.S. govt. #ChinookJustice #indigenousrights
2/7. Many tribes received #federalrecognition through treaties & executive orders. Today, tribes can be federally recognized through acts of Congress, federal administrative actions or federal court decisions. #ChinookJustice #indigenousrights
