The government of the United States of America, established by the U.S. Constitution, is a federal republic of individual states.
The United States federal government, the state governments and the tribal governments share sovereignty of the individuals residing within a particular geographical location, in that an "American" is a citizen both of the federal entity, of his or her state of residence and for Native Americans, a member of their Tribal Nation.
Sovereignty is the exclusive right to exercise supreme political (e.g. legislative, judicial, and/or executive) authority over a geographic region, group of people, or oneself.
There are 563 Federally recognized tribal governments in the United States. The United States recognizes the right of these tribes to self-government and supports their tribal sovereignty and self-determination. 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.
As a result of the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia, Indian tribes are considered "domestic dependent nations" that operate as sovereign governments subject to Federal authority.
We obey all of the laws required of us by the United States federal government, the our local state government and the tribal government of the Agua Caliente. Some of our customers, who may reside outside of these locations described above, may have other obligations to their state or commonwealth.
Each individual purchasing products from our store is responsible for their state and local obligations. It is important to note that it is illegal to avoid paying taxes. Do not order from us if you are breaking local law. |
