Official Contact Portal
The Hunnic Matinecock Tribal Nation communicates with outside governments, agencies, and institutions on a government-to-government basis.
All correspondence is to be directed to the Office of the Grand Chief, which serves as the sole diplomatic and administrative office for the Nation.
Authority of the Office
The Grand Chief holds sovereign authority by:
- Treaty right, inherited from sachemic ancestors including Canonicus, Kanienkeha Ka Hertel, and Catoneras.
- Compact right, through the Catoneras–Van Texel Compact (1640s) and its descendant founding families (Knapp, Travis, Lent, Outhouse, Dyckman).
- Constitutional law, under the Supremacy Clause (Article VI).
- Judicial precedent, including Worcester v. Georgia (1832) and McGirt v. Oklahoma (2020).
- International affirmation, under UNDRIP (2007) and the Vienna Convention (1969).
The Office is therefore recognized in law as the governing authority of the Hunnic Matinecock Tribal Nation.
