Tribal Government

Tribal government refers to the system of governance established by Native American tribes, which operates independently from state and federal governments. Each tribe has its own constitution and laws, reflecting its unique culture and traditions. Tribal governments handle various functions, such as managing land, resources, and services for their members. They also have the authority to establish courts and law enforcement. Recognized by the U.S. government, tribal sovereignty allows these governments to exercise self-determination, making decisions that affect their communities while working within the framework of federal law.
