Comment: The article is now more accurate and less full of puffery, but it still offers no indications that this group has received significant, coverage in any independent media, outside of the one event of offering membership to Senator Warren. (A failed political stunt, really, since there is no indication that Warren accepted the membership or even ever acknowledged the offer.) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I went through and extracted as much information as I could about the group and presented it in a more neutral tone. Some of the sources are somewhat unreliable and I don't know if there is enough coverage for any more writing. PersusjCP (talk) 17:36, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This group seems to have mostly made news through its stunt of offering Elizabeth Warren membership. The claim of 250 million members (which has been corrected) as well as the explanations of why their leader is called "King" while other indigenous groups tend to use "Chief" are misleading and appear to be attempts to give this group more legitimacy than is due.

The Una Nation of Mixed-Bloods, an unrecognized Native American Mixed-blood tribal group of Mixed-bloods, based in Eugene, Oregon, claim to be a "Native American Mixed-Blood tribe."[1] The group offers enrollment to anyone with at least one Native American ancestor.[2]
History
[edit]In 2015, the Una Nation announced it had renounced all monetary and benefit rights that recognition would bring.[3] Subsequently, they sought state recognition from Oregon, where they are based.[4][5]
In 2016, the mayor of Springfield, Oregon read a proclamation recognizing and honoring the Una Nation.[6]
In 2019, the group announced that it had offered tribal enrollment to Senator Elizabeth Warren.[7] In the same year, the tribe claimed 35,000 enrolled members.[8]
