The Miami Nation of Indiana (also known as the Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana) is a group of individuals who identify as Miami and have organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Their federal recognition related to an 1854 treaty was withdrawn in 1897. In a late 20th-century court challenge a federal court ruled that although the government’s action was illegal the time had passed to correct the result and the tribe remains unrecognized.
