Talton v. Mayes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1896 United States Supreme Court case Talton v. Mayes, 163 U.S. 376 decided that the individual rights protections that limited federal, and later, state governments, do not apply to tribal government, reaffirmed earlier decisions such as the 1831 Cherokee Nation v. Georgia case, which gave Indian tribes the status of "domestic dependent nations," whose sovereignty is independent of the federal government.
