Indian Treaty Rights

Indian treaty rights are legal agreements between Native American tribes and the U.S. government that recognize certain rights, land claims, and protections for tribes. These treaties often guarantee access to specific lands, hunting, fishing rights, and self-governance. They are legally binding and have been upheld by courts, ensuring tribes can maintain cultural practices and sovereignty. However, the implementation and scope of these rights can vary, sometimes leading to disputes. Overall, treaty rights are essential for preserving Native American cultures and ensuring legal recognition of their historical agreements with the government.
