Posted by SLRT on Thu Jul 26 09:52:57 2012, in response to Re: POTUS creates African-American education office, posted by Easy on Thu Jul 26 09:46:55 2012. From the Bureau of Indian Affairs website."The United States has a unique legal and political relationship with Indian tribes and Alaska Native entities as provided by the Constitution of the United States, treaties, court decisions and Federal statutes. Within the government-to-government relationship, Indian Affairs provides services directly or through contracts, grants, or compacts to 566 Federally recognized tribes." The U.S. has a special relation to recognized Native American tribes as sovereign entities mostly as a matter of history and treaty obligations. It applies to Indian tribes as entities, not individual Native Americans as an ethnicity. |
