WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2002 Two Washington tribes rejected for federal recognition by the Bureau of Indian Affairs have found allies in Congress. Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) will introduce legislation for the Duwamish Tribe. Assistant Secretary Neal McCaleb last fall reversed a Clinton administration final decision to recognize the tribe. Rep. Brian (D-Wash.) said he will do the same for the Chinook Nation, denied by McCaleb last Friday. Get the Story:
