Posted: Friday, February 21, 2014
The Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians in Michigan will finally receive an answer on its federal recognition petition.
The tribe started the process in 1994. The Bureau of Indian Affairs placed the petition on the "ready" list in March 1997 and finally placed it under "active consideration" in December 2013, meaning a proposed finding is on the way.
The tribe's ancestors signed the 1855 Treaty with the Ottawa and Chippewa.
