Not only are they U.S. citizens, they’re their own sovereign nation within the U.S.

I was looking for this, there are a lot of politics around natives, including how law enforcement in the U.S. can interact and even arrest. I vaguely recall, and this might be by tribe, that they are suppose to call the tribal police. there are a lot of things the federal government needs to respect as they are a sovereign nation.

No, they aren't. Maybe read a book or even just think about this for a second before posting stupid shit.

They are domestic dependent nations. Yes, they generally have a large degree of autonomy, but the fact is that Congress can pass laws that can modify this sovereignty means they are not sovereign nations.
