Tribal Sovereignty. The purpose of this publication is to provide basic information to state judges and court employees who interact with members of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities in their courts. It is intended to serve as a general briefing to enhance AI/AN cultural competence. Most of the content was originally developed and published by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Health Services Administration in the form of a “Culture Card” for use by federal contractors (See DHHS Publication No. SMA 08-4354) and is used with permission. The original language was drafted and reviewed by many AI/AN professionals and community members across the U.S. Additions and revisions were adopted by the National Judicial Opioid Task Force in an effort to support collaboration between state and tribal courts in support of best practices and successful outcomes for members of AI/AN communities suffering from opioid use disorders. There are more than 570 federally recognized AI/AN tribes in the U.S. Over half of these are Alaska Native villages. Additionally, there are more than 240 non- federally recognized tribes; many are recognized by their states and are seeking federal recognition. There is a unique legal and political relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes and a special legal relationship with Alaska Native Corporations. As sovereign nations, tribal governments have the right to hold elections, determine their own citizenship (enrollment), and to consult directly with the U.S. government on policy, regulations, legislation, and funding. Tribal governments can create and enforce laws that are stricter or more lenient than state laws, but they are not subservient to state law. State laws cannot be applied where they interfere with the right of a tribe to make its own laws or where it would interfere with any federal interest. Criminal legal jurisdiction issues are very complex, depend on a variety of factors, and must be assessed based on the specific law as applied to a specific tribe. In general, the federal law applies. Regional and Cultural Differences Prior to European contact, AI/AN communities lived throughout North America. Federal policies led to voluntary and forced relocation from familiar territory to the current-day reservation system for many tribes. When the reservation system was formed in the late 1800s, some bands and tribes were forced to live together. In some instances, these groups were related linguistically and culturally; in othe...
