Sovereignty refers to the absolute power to govern.
This governmental authority includes the power to form a government, to tax, to create laws and to enforce those laws. The authority of tribal governments has been limited by Congress and federal case law. As a general rule, tribal governments retain all government authority that has not been limited by Congress or federal case law. There are over 500 federally recognized tribes in the United States. Each has a government, tribal members and trust lands.
