| Oct 11, 2023 at 18:49 | comment | added | Michael Richardson | @ToddWilcox "Domestic Dependent Nation" does allude to the federal government having ultimate authority. The FBI does have jurisdiction on many (all?) reservations. Depending on specific location, who ultimately takes jurisdiction for a crime can depend on whether the victim and/or perpetrator are members of that specific nation. | |
| Oct 11, 2023 at 15:22 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | This is good clarification but I feel like it might be missing something. Am I right in thinking that there is some federal jurisdiction on reservations? Or are agencies like the FBI only allowed to act on reservations if invited? My understanding is that while there is self-governance on reservations, they are not outside the jurisdiction of the US federal government so are not completely independent countries. | |
