Statement:

I. Reaffirmation of Principles of Tribal

Sovereignty and the Federal Trust

Responsibility

The Commission recognizes the

unique legal relationship that exists

between the federal government and

Indian Tribal governments, as reflected

in the Constitution of the United States,

treaties, federal statutes, Executive

orders, and numerous court decisions.

As domestic dependant nations, Indian

Tribes exercise inherent sovereign

powers over their members and

territory. The federal government has a

federal trust relationship with Indian

Tribes, and this historic trust

relationship requires the federal

government to adhere to certain

fiduciary standards in its dealings with

Indian Tribes. In this regard, the

Commission recognizes that the federal

government has a longstanding policy of

promoting tribal self-sufficiency and

economic development as embodied in

various federal statutes.

The Commission also recognizes that

the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe

List Act of 1994, makes a finding that

the federal government has a trust

responsibility to and a government-togovernment relationship with

recognized tribes.

Therefore, as an independent agency

of the federal government, the

Commission recognizes its own general

trust relationship with, and

responsibility to, federally-recognized

Indian Tribes. The Commission also

recognizes the rights of Indian Tribal

governments to set their own

communications priorities and goals for

the welfare of their membership.
