No evidence of notability. I can see simple mentions of it in books but no discussion. It is also mentioned here [1] which says " (There is an “Algonquian Confederacy of the Quinnipiac Tribal Council.” Its leader, Iron Thunderhorse, is currently in prison in Texas for rape, and projected to be released in 2051, at the age of 107. He is half-Italian, was born William Coppola, and according to a legal filing by the Texas prison authority, was not listed as Native American on at least one of his purported birth.'" Iron Thunderhorse's article was basically written by the same editor who wrote this one in 2007 IIRC. Thunderhorse is a wannabe New Ager with a lot of self-published stuff and articles in "Ancient American" which edited by Frank Collin and is the usual fraudulent archaeology stuff, everybody came to America with some right wing stuff thrown in.

Redirectto Iron Thunderhorse, the highly dubious but seemingly notable character who created this otherwise non-notable entity.

- Keep. This needs to be rewritten to reflect what the organization really is instead of what they claim, which I can commit to doing once I get some free time (next week), but the organization is the subject of numerous newspaper articles (even in recent years). This organization is
still active. A fact-based article would provide ballast against all the wild claims online.
