DeutschTaíno heritage groups
Taíno heritage groups are organizations, primarily located in the United States and the Caribbean, that promote Taíno revivalism. Many of these groups are from non-sovereign U.S. territories outside the contiguous United States, especially Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Groups outside the 48 contiguous states and Alaska[a] are currently ineligible for federal recognition.[3][4][5] Some of these groups are represented on the International Indian Treaty Council under the United Confederation of Taíno People, which has campaigned nationally and at the United Nations for the United States to recognize such groups.[6][7][8]

[edit]- ^ The federal government defines Indigenous peoples as "native to the continental United States" and states that Native Americans (American Indians and Alaska Natives) must "come from within the continental U.S. at the time of first sustained contact, rather than migrating into the U.S. during historical times". The continental U.S. is defined as "the contiguous 48 states and Alaska".[1] The Tlinga and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska outline the law as such: "In 1934, the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) was passed to set a standard for the federal government to recognize tribes in the Lower 48. The Alaska Native Brotherhood petitioned Congress to amend the IRA to apply to Alaska, and in 1936 the revision was made."[2]
