One tragic case I know of in NM is tangled tribal identity within an individual—she feels welcome nowhere.
The Chinook River goes to the coast. The Nation is on the Columbia river, which also goes to the coast. It’s that side of the Divide. I used to live about 120’ on the other side of the Divide.
Around here, the Poarch Creek are working for recognition. Tons of Florida and Alabama gambling money ride on the outcome. The trouble is that nations were often “sometimes” things, depending on when, who, and where.
