By virtue of treaties and other agreements, the United States of America is obliged to exercise its trusteeship to promote and guarantee the political, economic and social advancement of Indian Nations, the elevation of Indian government to a position of equality, and promote the self-determination of Indian Nations toward the end that they may freely choose their own political, economic and social future without external interferences. The U.S. Government, as a whole, is the responsible entity with which Indian Nations have concluded treaties and agreements. No single agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government is exempt from fulfilling the obligations of its trusteeship, as defined by international charters. Tribal self-government is the most basic of all inherent Indian rights. Tribal self-government is an inherent and aboriginal right derived from the sovereign status of Indian Tribes and Nations.
