Common misconceptions
- Believing tribal nations are 'part of the state' the way a city is (they are SOVEREIGN - distinct governance)
- Believing all Native nations are recognized (574 are federally recognized; some are state-recognized only; some are working toward recognition)
- Believing sovereignty is symbolic (it has real legal, cultural, economic, and political dimensions - tribal courts, tribal law, tribal citizenship)
