They ought to have jurisdiction over their land, and anyone who enters it like any other sovereign nation.
The USA should defend its citizens but still submit to rule of law, like we do with other nations we have treaties with…

But it's also within a state and part of a state. The Native Americans want their own rules and laws that the rest of the states law enforcement can't do anything about when on their land. It's why Indians have had casinos when states don't allow them, and why they want non native Americans to show on their land.
They're trying to pick and choose and have things both ways. Making Americans abide by two sets of state laws with different rules and court proceedings and punishments and rights violations isn't an acceptable solution. The Native Americans allow outside people on their land because they want them there. They don't have to allow the public on their land.
This whole dispute gave an example of a discrepancy between tribal law and state law over what you can be arrested for. Stuff would get dicey for a lot of people pretty quickly if a tribe had some unusual laws and punishments on the books that they arrest people for after getting them to show up on their land. It's just too messy to do that way.
like any other sovereign nation
Do those areas really count as sovereign nations?
Of course it's a problem. What is this title garbage?
That's actually what a good headline looks like. It presents what happened without being biased towards one side (in this case the US federal & state government vs tribal government).
How about not using the term Indian in the title in the 21st century. I understand its not as taboo down there as it is up here, but at least use American Indian. Before clicking through to read more I assumed it was about people from India.
Yeah, I'm from Europe and still got confused,
The groups involved are the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Senate Committee of Indian Affairs. Insofar as I know they still call them Indian reservations as well.
Fully agree that things should change (and in the article they call them Native Americans.) but at present the naming is in line with current conventions.
Not saying you're wrong, but -- it turns out that more people with indigenous North American heritage prefer to be called "Indians," followed by "Native Americans," and then "Other." I still think "Native Americans" is the best general term, but even that papers over the vast array of different indigenous nations on the continent.
