I am very glad to see this:
...an organization called VITAL, the Virginia Indian Tribal Alliance for Life, is leading the up-hill battle to secure federal recognition of the Monacans as well as the other indigenous tribes in Virginia, including the Chickahominy, the Upper Mattaponi, the Rappahannock, and the Nansemond Indian Tribes.[...]
According to Kris Alingod at AHN, Senator Webb considers recognition of Virginia's Native Americans to be an issue of social justice...
[...]
Despite the legislation's detractors, Senator Webb and other Virginia officeholders have been slowly building support for a bill that is more than two hundred years overdue.
I couldn't agree more; excellent job by Jim Webb on what truly IS a matter of social - not to mention historical - justice. Fortunately, as the Star City Harbinger writes, "Jim Webb is a man of his word." Go Webb! :)
