Information
There are approximately 400 Tribal justice systems throughout the Nation. Tribal sovereignty is protected throughout the Tribal justice system or through a traditional court. For Tribes that do not have their own Tribal justice system, the Court of Indian Offences (CFR Courts) provide that service on behalf of the Tribe. This site provides information on the operation of the systems.
