Native American Tribes

Native American Tribes posts give short profiles of nations across what is now the United States. Articles look at the Cherokee in the southeast and the Trail of Tears, the Navajo Nation that today runs across Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, the Lakota and Dakota of the northern plains, the Iroquois Confederacy in the northeast, the Seminole in Florida and the Tlingit and Haida along the Northwest Coast. There are also notes on how federal recognition works, what tribal sovereignty means in practice, and the difference between a reservation, a rancheria and a pueblo.
