Native American issues continue to constitute an important part of
the federal government's responsibility. Native Americans in the
United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North
America now encompassed by the continental United States, including
parts of Alaska. They comprise a large number of distinct tribes,
states, and ethnic groups, many of which are still enduring as
political communities. There is a wide range of terms used, and
some controversy surrounding their use: they are variously known as
American Indians, Indians, Amerindians, Amerinds, or Indigenous,
Aboriginal or Original Americans. There are 561 federally
recognised tribal governments in the United States. These tribes
possess the right to form their own government, to enforce laws
(both civil and criminal), to tax, to establish membership, to
license and regulate activities, to zone and to exclude persons
from tribal territories. Limitations on tribal powers of
self-government include the same limitations applicable to states;
for example, neither tribes nor states have the power to make war,
engage in foreign relations, or coin money (this includes paper
currency). This book presents the latest developments in the areas
of rights, laws and legislation.
