Updated Update: State Department to Accept* Haudenosaunee Passports

Updated 3:45 CST/20:45 GMT
The Syracuse Post-Standard now reports that the Iroquois Nationals will be in New York yet another night. The UK has still not issued visas. It is also not clear to me what the status is of visas for members of the party born in or near Canada.

To update my post from yesterday, The Syracuse Post-Standard just reported that the U.S. State Department has decided to allow members of the Iroquois Nationals lacrosse team to use their own passports to re-enter the United States. Assuming that the team can get British visas in the next few hours, the team is set to leave for Manchester to play the opening match of the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships tomorrow night.

[*ETA: The working solution involves a one-time waiver, not indefinite acceptance of tribal passports.]
