Indian Tribes To Gain More Government Powers
The American Indian Policy Review Commission urges Congress to extend inherent tribal sovereignty and grant tribes primary authority over civil and criminal matters on reservations while limiting federal overreach. Rep. Lloyd Meeds disputes the report calling it biased toward sovereignty and notes strong political headwinds. The panel favors shifting education control to tribal governments and exempting Indians from certain state taxes within reservations.
