Sovereignty

Last changed on Fri, 09/05/2025 - 13:00

Like all Native nations, the Waⁿdat have a long history of self-governance and methods that predates encounters with Europeans and Americans. This category encompasses our methods for engaging with other nations, from treaties and war to the fundamental governance shifts wrought by Reservation policy. Sovereignty also encompasses our land and mineral rights.
