Tribal Law

Tribal law refers to the legal systems and regulations established by Indigenous tribes to govern their members and lands. These laws address issues such as property rights, criminal conduct, family matters, and tribal governance. While they operate independently within reservations, they often coexist with federal and state laws, with jurisdiction depending on specific situations. Tribal law reflects the tribe’s cultural values, traditions, and sovereignty, helping maintain their identity and self-governance while respecting broader legal frameworks.
