I'm ignorant of how this works, but aren't tribal nations exempt from at least state and local regs?

- deaddodo 3y agoSovereign (as not all are considered such) tribal lands are dictated solely by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (and Congress, obviously, as the institution granting that authority). In practice, unless something goes heavily against Federal interests (illicit drug production/trade, for instance), it is regulated by the nation ("tribe") alone.
- sterlind 3y agoso there are reservations that don't have tribal sovereignty? or did you mean off-rez holdings, or federally unrecognized tribes?
- deaddodo 3y agoThere are recognized tribes without recognized lands. There are federally unrecognized tribes. And there are properties of tribal institutions that do not fall on sovereign land. So the easiest answer is: "yes"/"all of the above"
