The Delaware Tribe of Oklahoma says it has regained status as a federally recognized tribe.
The tribe voted to reorganize under the Oklahoma
Indian Welfare Act. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has apparently approved the tribe's request.
"The Delawares are back," Assistant Chief Wayne Stull told The Native American Times.
Stull said notice of the tribe's recognition will be published in the Federal Register within four to six weeks.
The Delawares have been considered a part of the Cherokee Nation since an 1866
treaty.
