Question

which of the following best explains the relationship between tribal sovereignty and dual citizenship? (1 point)
indigenous americans under tribal sovereignty are not dual citizens because tribal lands are like states with the power to govern and tax within their borders.
indigenous americans under tribal sovereignty are not dual citizens because they have international passports issued by the tribe.
indigenous americans under tribal sovereignty are dual citizens because they might be asked to serve in both the u.s. military and the tribal military.
indigenous americans under tribal sovereignty are dual citizens because they might be asked to use separate currencies with the u.s. and with the tribe.

Explanation:

Tribal sovereignty in the U.S. context means tribes have some governing powers (like states in some respects). Indigenous Americans under tribal sovereignty are U.S. citizens (from the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924) and also part of their tribe. Tribal lands having state - like governing and taxing powers doesn't negate U.S. citizenship (so they are dual citizens in the sense of being U.S. citizens and tribal members). The other options are incorrect: tribes don't issue international passports (they issue tribal identification which is not an international passport in the traditional sense), serving in two militaries is not the core reason for dual “citizenship” (more about legal status), and currency use is not the defining factor.

Answer:

Indigenous Americans under tribal sovereignty are dual citizens because tribal lands are like states with the power to govern and tax within their borders (while they are also U.S. citizens).
