List of organizations that self-identify as Native American tribes explained

These organizations, located within the United States, self-identify as Native American tribes or heritage groups, but they are not federally recognized tribes or state-recognized tribes.

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 exist, including 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 by 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.

Some of the organizations are regarded as fraudulent and called Corporations Posing as Indigenous Nations (CPAIN).[3]

The three largest and most prominent factions are:
    1. Gabrieliño-Tongva Tribe, West Hills, CA, formerly the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, led by Charles Alvarez[33]

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.[35]
