Excerpt:

"To get U.S. federal status, groups, also known as tribes, must demonstrate compliance with seven mandatory criteria, including a continuous history as an American Indian entity since 1900. In 2005, one of the four Vermont-recognized groups, the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi, failed to meet some criteria."
