Introduction -Provide a brief overview of how the petitioner meets criterion 83.11(a) from 1900 to present; the petitioner or its ancestral group, not individuals, must be identified as an Indian entity; external and self-identifications must be of the group as it existed contemporary to the time of the identifications. These identifications must be from 1900 to the present and should be no more than 10 years apart (as shown below). For each time period, provide photocopies or image scans from sources that identify the petitioning group as an Indian entity as required by 83.11 (a). Thoroughly explain how each piece of evidence meets this criterion.
