Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994 is Unconstitutional
The Secretary of Interior is in violation of their Constitutionally mandated responsibilities under Treaty, to not place The Chickamauga Nation on the List. The Congress determined the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska to be under the "Jurisdiction" of the Untied States in 1935 exactly as The Chickamauga Nation too, is under the Jurisdiction of the United States by the same Act.
The statute is a violation of the Constitution in that it is ex post facto, violates the Administrative Procedures Act, and violates the Civil Rights of Indians in that it deprives, subjugates, and effectively terminates Federally Recognized Tribes who are not on the list by forcing them to meeting criteria already met by these Tribes as being under the JURISDICTION of the United States in previous Statutes i.e. (Treaties stating the Tribe is under the Jurisdiction of the Congress of the United States 7 Stat 18 Article 9, 1934 – 48 Stat. 984, 25 U.S.C. 461 - Indian Reorganization Act, and 1968 - 25 USC CHAPTER 15, SUBCHAPTER - Indian Civil Rights Act along with US Supreme Court Rulings including but not limited to: Loper Bri9ght Enterprises Et Al v Raimondo, Secretary of Commerce, Et Al No. 22–451 – 2024, Carcieri v Salazar 555 US 379 2009, McGirt v Oklahoma - No. 18–9526 – 2020, Montana v. United States, 450 U.S. 544 - 1981, Montoya v. United States, 180 U.S. 261 – 1901.
It is time for the Secretary of Interior to fulfill their Constitutional responsibilities and place The Chickamauga Nation on the List of Federally Recognized Tribes.
