Most states gained statehood over a century ago, yet still contain hundreds of sovereign groups. Statehood and sovereignty of the type Ambercrombie is talking about aren't mutually exclusive.
In addition to those against Federal Recognition because they are satisfied with the status quo of US citizenship are those advocating total independence. They seem prepared to wait the many generations for either International Recognition or the dissolution of the United States. After all (to trade movie quotes) on a long enough timescale the survival rate for anything drops to zero.
