Native American Nations
Native American Nations are diverse indigenous groups with distinct cultures, languages, and histories that predate European contact in North America. These nations, often recognized as sovereign entities, manage their own affairs, land, and traditions, while also engaging with federal and state governments. Examples include the Cherokee, Navajo, Sioux, and Apache, each with unique societal practices. Their enduring presence reflects a rich cultural heritage and ongoing efforts toward self-determination, rights, and preservation of their ancestral lands and customs within the broader United States.
