 Issues->Recognition: Delawares closer to federal recognition
Posted on Saturday, August 19 @ 01:23:01 CDT


AUTHOR: S.E. Ruckman, Tulsa World Staff Writer

Cherokee Nation councilors vote to back the tribe's regaining its federal status.

StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!

TAHLEQUAH -- The Delaware Tribe of Indians moved one step closer to reclaiming its federal status after Cherokee Nation councilors voted Monday to support the tribe's recognition.

The Bartlesville-based tribe lost its federal recognition in 2005 after losing a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision to the Cherokee Nation over treaty provisions.

With the Cherokee tribal resolution's approval, a memorandum of understanding will be forwarded to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, officials said. The Cherokee resolution authorizes Chief Chad Smith to advocate for the legislation's support.

The 17-member Cherokee council's approval was key for the Delawares, said the tribe's chief, Jerry Douglas, who added that he hopes to get federal recognition within a year.

"Everyone told me that the Cherokee Nation and the Delaware needed to come to an agreement because our Oklahoma (congressional) delegation would view it favorably," he said.

The 10,000-member Delaware Tribe is seeking the sponsorship of a congressional bill that would return its federal recognition. Douglas said his group has House sponsorship from U.S. Rep. John Sullivan, R-Okla., and is hoping for Senate sponsorship from Oklahoma Republicans Tom Coburn or Jim Inhofe.

In a memorandum to Cherokee tribal councilors before the vote, tribal Secretary of State Melanie Knight said the core of the agreement is federal recognition for the Delawares while preserving the Cherokee Nation's sovereign territory.

"Although negotiations . . . have been attempted over the years, none have been as fruitful as these," she said.

The deal would allow the Delawares to seek to put land into trust outside of the Cherokees' 14-county jurisdiction.

It also provides that the Delaware Tribe run social service programs for its members, although some funds will go through the Cherokee Nation for distribution, a draft of the memorandum of understanding states.

Wayne Stull, the Delaware Tribe's economic development board member, said a majority of the tribe's members supports the agreement, although some want to bring it before a vote.

"We have to get our federal recognition back; if we don't, we will just be a glorified Indian club," he said.
