Comments

the government says we failed to meet criteria (a),(b), and (c) of the acknowledgment regulations-failing to demonstrate that is has maintained political influence over its members from historical times to the present, that a predominant portion of its members comprise a distinct social community at present, or since 1950, or that it has been identified historically as an Indian entity by outside observers on a substantially continuous basis. Since we had met these criteria for Kevin Gover and then in August of 2001 the decision was upheld, it just says to me they looked as hard as they could for a way the Quinalt to buy away our recognition. We will prevail!!!!!!!
