governance

Other later amendments established Tribal Self-Governance as a permanent program within the Department of the Interior and the Department of Health and Human Services .

I would argue that a democracy is governance by the people and not being governed by invisible systems of knowledge and power that we can't question or can't see.

Federal Indian law says tribal nations have the right to govern themselves but not to exercise governance over non-Natives.

By replacing federal employees with elected Tribal Leaders, the Nation gained more say in its own governance.

I'm actually talking about something more fundamental, which is that the founders understood that any system of government that's carefully balancing our liberties and governance, if left still for too long, sort of becomes trapped.
