The Tennessee Commission on Indian Affairs says it is the final decision-maker for groups seeking state recognition as an Indian tribe.

The commission is asserting control because a group called the Cherokee Wolf Clan went directly to counties to seek recognition. The counties have put off decisions on the group pending resolution by the commission.

Currently, there are no state-recognized tribes in Tennessee.
