    From: James Simien, Southwest Louisiana Native American researcher and Chitimacha descendant
    I DO NOT ENDORSE the United Houma Nation petitioner (56A) for federal recognition in any past or future form of the
    federal criteria .
    I understand that on July 22 2014 the Parish of Terrebonne located in Louisiana has adopted a resolution to endorse
    the United Houma Nation tribe, which Im in disagreement with. I feel that Terrebonne parish based their decision on
    the fact that the United Houma Nation resides in the parish among other things . I agree with the Office of Federal
    Acknowledgment proposed findings against the United Houma Nation.
    Through my many years of Southwest Louisiana Native American research I have a complete and documented
    understanding of the present day Louisiana tribes and how they link historically. The United Houma Nation to present
    day still has not provided any documented historical tribal link or hard copy documents proving such. Im not disputing
    they are not Native American but proving your historical decent is one mandatory part of the criteria that must be satisfied
    in order to establish a government relationship. The United Houma nation should not be given another chance to repetition the OFA for a third shot at Federal Acknowledgement while other Southwest Louisiana tribes are more
    deserving and have documented their respective historical tribes.
    My research is dedicated to my ancestors and the for the truth to be exposed..
    Sincerely,
    James Simien
