Detailed explanation-1: -Tribal governments are an important and unique member of the family of American governments. The US Constitution recognizes that tribal nations are sovereign governments, just like Canada or California. Sovereignty is a legal word for an ordinary concept-the authority to self-govern.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Tribal Council is the governing body for certain tribes within the United States or elsewhere (since ancient times), generally along regional, ethnic or linguistic lines. Several sovereign American Indian Nations in the United States are organized as Tribal Councils.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Iroquois Confederacy refers to a group of indigenous tribes living in northeastern North America that had a participatory democracy government with executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The Great Law of Peace was the constitution of the Iroquois Confederacy.
Detailed explanation-4: -More than 46, 000 Native Americans were forced-sometimes by the U.S. military-to abandon their homes and relocate to “Indian Territory” that eventually became the state of Oklahoma. More than 4, 000 died on the journey-of disease, starvation, and exposure to extreme weather.
