This is sort of subtle. An Abenaki entity has status under a VT act equivalent with one or more VT agencies (public health). To my reading, that is State Recognition -- entity juristisdictional parity. Thanks to the Legis.

However, standing under NAGPRA, the only standing that counts, to stop disinterments by developers who've acquired cemetaries -- the "burial grounds" issue -- is one that Howard personally and vigorously opposed.

So, color Howard as you please, and two-colored works for me, on gaming, when he moves west, but his position on the repat issue is not complex.
