I think UCITOVA should have da recognition

Warner M. Austin writes:

United States government as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia have long known of Indian people, including the Buffalo Ridge Cherokee in the state of Virginia. A federal document entitled "Surviving Indian Groups in Eastern and Southern States" attests to this on page 8 of that document. Local families, Indian and non-Indian are aware of this rich cultural history.

UCITOVA should have its well deserved recognition
