They would be acknowledging they they won’t ever be treated as a full and independent country by doing so. They currently claim sovereignty and have special rights because of it, including the right to govern traditionally and to deny membership to their colonial oppressors
If they want statehood I’m happy to give it, but I’ve seen no indication they want it
I’d suspect the Navajo Nation wouldn’t want to cede their claim of nationhood for statehood
They’d get far more rights and proper political representation. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the explanation.
