- Tribu reconeguda estalment és la tribu d'amerindis dels Estats Units i grups patrimonials que han estat reconeguts per estats individuals amb finalitats internes del govern. El reconeixement de l'Estat confereix beneficis limitats sota la llei federal i no és el mateix que el reconeixement federal, que és el reconeixement d'una tribu com a nació sobirana pel govern federal. No obstant això, en alguns estats, el reconeixement de l'Estat ha ofert algun tipus de protecció a l'autonomia de les tribus no reconegudes pel govern federal. Per exemple, a Connecticut, la llei estatal protegeix les reserves i ofereix drets d'autogovern limitat a les tribus reconegudes per l'Estat. (ca)
- State-recognized tribes in the United States are organizations that identify as Native American tribes or heritage groups that do not meet the criteria for federally recognized Indian tribes but have been recognized by a process established under assorted state government laws for varying purposes. State recognition does not dictate whether or not they are recognized as Native American tribes by continually existing tribal nations. In the late 20th century, some states have passed legislation that recognizes some tribes. Most such groups are located in the Eastern United States, including the three of largest state-recognized tribes in the US, the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama, and the United Houma Nation of Louisiana, each of which has more than ten thousand members. State recognition confers few benefits under federal law. It is not the same as federal recognition, which is the federal government's acknowledgment of a tribe as a dependent sovereign nation. Some states have provided laws related to state recognition that provide some protection of autonomy for tribes that are not recognized by the federal government. For example, in Connecticut, state law recognizing certain tribes also protects reservations and limited self-government rights for state-recognized tribes. Such state recognition has at times been opposed by federally-recognized tribes. For instance, the Cherokee Nation, which enrolls proven descendants, opposes state-recognized tribes, as well as Cherokee heritage groups and others with no documented descent who claim Cherokee identity. Numerous other groups assert that they are Indian tribes. Some require that applicants document Native ancestors, but others require only a statement of belief. Some of the heritage groups such as the Muscogee Nation of Florida have attained the status of "state-recognized tribes," and others are listed in the list of unrecognized tribes in the United States.
