Indian tribes

Indian tribes, often referred to as Native American tribes, are indigenous groups with distinct cultures, languages, and histories, primarily located in the United States. Each tribe has its own governance, traditions, and social structures, emphasizing communal values and connections to the land. Tribes play a crucial role in preserving their heritage while navigating contemporary challenges. Recognized by the U.S. government, they possess certain rights and sovereignty, allowing them to self-govern and manage resources. There are over 500 federally recognized tribes, each contributing to the rich cultural tapestry of the nation.
