Yes, there are still Native Americans living in the United States today. Some live in cities or in tribal communitys (RESERVATIONS) In some cases (e.g. Canada) these native controlled areas are outside of the jurisdiction of Canadian laws and regulations and act as almost autonomous nations.
Native American Reservations are sovereign nations except where they have given away a part of that sovereignty; all reservation nations have signed agreements with the United States (it is required through agreements with the US Government and the BIA), and its subordinate states to recognize and enforce judgments from other courts (states) Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (UEFJA) of 1986. It should be noted that the Navajo nation will enforce orders from the United States (See Navajo Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 60 (Generally)). Your first step is to contact the tribal entities office of the attorney general ((928) 871-6345) and ask them about the enforcement procedures. If the order is for Child Support, then the federal government can and will get involved (IE: Garnish the whole tribe, in order to pay the judgment). you cannot garnish any casino worker weather they are tribal or non tribal Indian reservation are considred a soverign nation so unless they get employed elsewhere not going to happen you could take them to court instead
No. Section 2 of the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") explicitly states that no tribe can be required to permit or recognize same-sex marriages. All federally recognized native American Indian tribes in the United States are considered sovereign nations. State and federal laws and constitutions do not apply to tribe members while they are physically present on tribal lands.
There were over 5,000 different tribes here in the United States before it was "discovered". Each nation had their own individual language, cultural beliefs and lifestyles. Every current tribal nation present in the United States was also here generations ago. Native Americans are not extinct.
The people in Canada prefer the term First Nations. In the United States, some prefer American Indian and some prefer native Anmerica and some prefer the name of their tribal group. For example, many Navajo say: I'm not Indian, I'm Navajo or I'm Dine'.
Each of these states is included in the contiguous United States of America. They have names derived from Indigenous tribal names.
Yes. New Zealand has an informal constitution in the same style as Britain and Israel (as opposed to the United States or France which have formal Constitutions). As for rituals, most New Zealanders are Christian and follow (to a limited extent) the Christian traditions and holidays (especially Christmas). As for the indigenous Maori, they are permitted tribal law and allowed to practice their tribals rites on their Tribal Territories which operate similarly to those in the United States or Australia.
