"Tribal members" aren't they what I learned in the 1980's to call "native Americans"?!

@angeldruckt@sueden.social Tribal members are Native Americans, however the term tribal members in this case also indicates that they are registered members of a federally recognized tribe. By contrast, the Chinook of the Pacific Northwest are not a federally recognized tribe which denies Chinook members access to federal healthcare, housing, and education benefits. https://chinooknation.org/recognition/
