Not always accurate though. Like here:
http://www.texasindians.com/albam.htm
They at least have Clayton pictured. And quote him. But get some things
rather off. Such as:
"This land used to be part of a reservation. But, the Government dissolved
the reservation many years ago."
Uh, sorry but they regained federal recognition in the '80s. Almost two
decades ago. Also, calling Clayton "...Chief of both tribes." is *dead
wrong. The Coushatta are a separate tribe. The Alabama-Coushatta are a
*single tribe (as per federal recognition). True, they came into being
because *some Coushatta moved onto Alabama land (by invitation) after
losing theirs in Texas but the two are distinct entities. Clayton is
certainly not recognized as chief of the Coushatta.
(In fact, claiming an Alabama is chief of the Coushattas could start some
rather heated arguments. <wry-g>)

As Resource-Rich Territory Gets Self-Rule, Chretien Hails Aboriginal
Rights
By DeNeen L. Brown, Page A01
RAE-EDZO, Northwest Territories, Aug. 25 -- Prime Minister Jean
Chretien signed a historic land settlement today, granting the
4,000-member Dogrib tribe, an aboriginal people in Canada's western
Arctic, broad-ranging powers to preserve their culture, govern
themselves and receive tax revenue in a territory bigger than Belgium.

When Racial Discrimination Is Not Just Black and White

Some Native American tribes have refused to recognize the rights of
black Indians — the millions of their members descended from former
slaves.

Canada's forgotten people
http://www.guardian.co.uk/elsewhere/journalist/story/0,7792,1048041,00.html
Canadians of mixed European and native ancestry have won a major
victory in their 130-year-old battle for recognition, writes Anne
McIlroy
Tuesday September 23, 2003
For years, they called themselves the "forgotten people". Last week,
Canada's supreme court ruled that the Métis - descendants of early
white settlers and natives - are in fact a distinct people with
significant rights.
The high court ruled that the Métis have the same hunting rights as
native Indians and the Inuit. That decision will likely force federal
and provincial governments to negotiate with the Métis on other rights
enjoyed by Canada's aboriginal people, including access to other
natural resources and special government services.

Casino Money Is a Force, And Issue, in Recall Fight
By William Booth
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 1, 2003; Page A01
ALPINE, Calif. -- Before they opened their splashy Vegas-style casino
in the waterless ranchlands east of San Diego, the Viejas Band of
Kameyaay Indians were just another small struggling tribe living in
rusty trailers on the reservation, trying to get by. "Too poor to buy
cars," recalled Bobby Barrett, the tribal council vice chairman.
