Most of the federally recognized tribes in New England were state recognized before they received federal recognition. I think an Ojibwe tribe was too but I can't remember then name...some tribes that were terminated by the fed gov't may have gotten state recognition before regaining federal recognition as well. So it does happen. But...lets think of all the (hundreds, maybe) of state recognized tribes who haven't succeeded in their petitions for federal recognition.
I do agree that the PDFs are misleading.
