On December 22, 2010, the Assistant Secretary determined to set aside all of the administrative and court actions with respect to organizing this tribe from 2004 to December 22, 2010 and to identify an obscure organizing document of 1998 as the Federally Recognized Authority.

On January 24, 2011, this group (the Putative Members), filed suit in Federal Court to challenge that determination on the basis of it not being legal nor Inclusive and Majoritarian, as the courts have determined that it must be.

On April 1, 2011, the Assistant Secretary set aside his December 22, 2010 Determination and the matter is being reconsidered.
