About this listen
In this episode of U.S. Government Explained, we explore the unique and often misunderstood relationship between the United States government and Native Nations.
We’ll look at the historical foundations of federal–tribal relations, including treaties, broken promises, and policies that deeply shaped Native communities. We’ll explain what tribal sovereignty means, how authority is shared between tribal, state, and federal governments, and why Native Nations hold a legal status unlike any other group in the United States.
This episode also examines how tribal interests are represented within the federal government, how courts have defined tribal authority, and the modern issues facing Indian Country today, including public safety, jurisdiction, and violence against Native women.
Understanding tribal relations is essential to understanding U.S. government, federal power, and civil rights—both historically and today.
