Native American Tribal Lands

Native American tribal lands are territories recognized by the U.S. government as belonging to specific Indigenous tribes. These lands serve as reservations or trust lands where tribes have a degree of sovereignty, meaning they govern themselves to some extent. They are often located on lands historically connected to tribes and are protected by treaties and laws. These areas support cultural practices, community life, and economic activities. However, jurisdiction and governance can be complex, involving federal, state, and tribal authorities working together. Ultimately, tribal lands are vital to preserving Native American heritage, identity, and autonomy.
