On this edition of What Matters, we explore the battle of six Virginia Indian tribes seeking federal recognition. Chief Stephen Adkins with the Chickahominy Tribe; Wayne Adkins, President of VITAL and Second Assistant Chief with the Chickahominy Tribe; and Joanne Kimberlin, reporter with The Virginian-Pilot and the recent three-part series "Virginia Indians: We're still here," join host Cathy Lewis for an in-depth discussion about the local Native American population and the federal fight for recognition.
