tribal governments
Many tribal governments were created during colonization an the signing of treaties, while others have been recognized more recently. Some tribal governments have treaties, while others have never ceded their lands. Where tribal governments are established, they may involve the voluntary or forced aggregation of many bands or communities. Tribes of the Salish Sea involve many language groups within the Salishan Languages as well as other language groups. In the United States, treaties often reference “usual and accustomed areas” and make promises about hunting, fishing, and gathering in these areas. These areas are overlapping, as many tribes had complex land sharing arrangements. Each tribal nation has distinct communities, interests and organizations, and there are many different levels of interaction and collaboration among tribal governments. The representation of these networks on this platform, as for all topics herein, are incomplete.
