Yes, a much improved alignment!

The footnote about "totally removed" is a little odd because I think some/many of these states has state recognized tribes.
Which I think mostly means either the tribes just refused to ever sign a treaty with the federal government, or just kind of reassembled after the bulk of their tribe was driven off the original land.
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia, for example, all have state recognized tribes.

In Georgia, it was the opposite: the Muscogee — or at least, an asshole tribal leader purporting to represent them — did sign a treaty. He got almost immediately executed for selling out his people and the legitimate leaders sent a delegation to DC to repudiate it, but it was too late and the tribe eventually lost all its land anyway.

I thought we didn't say Indian anymore?

They decided to keep the name "Indian" because when white people decided to start calling them "native Americans". They decided that they weren't going to let white people dictate what their name was a second time.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs still exists.

Some prefer Native American others prefer Indian. Most seem to prefer referring to their specific tribe if you aren't speaking about all Indian tribes. The import part is to use neither as a negative term.

White people said it’s racist to call Indians Indians, but Indians said they don’t want to be called ‘Native Americans’, so we call them Indians again.
By „we” I mean you. To Germans they’ve always been Indians.

Nothing in Hawaii? I thought there was an entire island that only allows tribals
Edit: Wikipedia article had a lot more recent history than I remember noticing - Bill Clinton signed an apology for overthrowing the Kingdom. It looks like they needed self-governance to be a tribe but that was blocked by Supreme Court as racist - I may be misunderstanding
