Native American Lands
Native American lands refer to areas designated as reservations or tribal territories where Indigenous nations maintain sovereignty and self-governance. These lands are often established through treaties and federal agreements, recognizing tribal autonomy and cultural heritage. While U.S. laws provide certain protections, Native lands are also part of complex legal and political relationships involving tribes, federal government, and state authorities. They serve as homes for Native communities, preserving languages, traditions, and ways of life, while also facing ongoing issues like land disputes, economic development, and preservation efforts.
