That's the rule for US citizens. You would no longer be a US citizen. Presumably the rules would be exactly the same as they are for current tribe members.

- tux1968 6y ago> So it doesn't really work Yeah, you're right. In Canada, "status indians" get a tax exempt card to avoid sales tax at least. I didn't realize that in the US all American Natives are actually considered US citizens and are taxed federally just like everyone else. Only the tribe itself is tax exempt. That is according to: https://www.thebalance.com/do-native-americans-pay-taxes-4174095 https://www.thebalance.com/do-native-americans-pay-taxes-417...

- ars 6y agoA tribe member is still a US citizen. They just aren't State citizens (residents).
