Tribal Self-Determination

Tribal Self-Determination refers to the right of indigenous tribes to govern themselves and make decisions about their own lives, communities, and resources. This principle recognizes tribes as distinct political entities with the authority to establish their own laws, manage their land, and protect their cultures. It empowers tribes to pursue economic development, education, and social services in a way that aligns with their values and needs. Ultimately, Tribal Self-Determination aims to rectify historical injustices and support tribes in maintaining their sovereignty and cultural identity.
