The state of California is a significant site for sovereignty struggles, including federal recognition, due to its large Native American population and the highest number of non-federally recognized tribes in the United States. In her book Unrecognized in California, Olivia M. Chilcote, a member of the San Luis Rey Band of Mission Indians of San Diego County, examines the historical roots of the ongoing crisis over tribal legal status in the state. Chilcote traces the tensions and contradictions surrounding federal recognition for California Indians, drawing on her tribal community's history and experience, as well as interviews with tribal leaders and hard-to-access archives. The book tells the story of the San Luis Rey Band's efforts to gain recognition through the Federal Acknowledgment Process, which originated in historic struggles against colonization and represents the most recent iteration of ongoing work to secure the tribe's rightful claims to land, resources, and respect. As Chilcote shows, the San Luis Rey Band successfully uses its inherent legal powers to maintain its community identity and self-determination while its Luiseño members endeavor to ensure that the tribe endures. Unrecognized in California is a perceptive and comprehensive exploration of one tribe's confrontations with the federal government, the politics of Native American identity, and California's distinct crisis of tribal federal recognition.
