Long before the United States became a country, Indigenous Peoples were independent and self-governing sovereigns. Because they are sovereigns, tribes still govern their own members and remaining territory. It is the core of NARF’s work to represent tribes in their exercises of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction. We help tribes maintain their longstanding government-to-government relationships with the United States and establish government-to-government relationships with states and municipalities.
