>A question. Are the reservations considered a seperate nation from America? And if so do they get a vote in our elections?

Oklahoma anon here. Tribes are separate nations. They even have their own license plates.

From the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI): American Indians and Alaska Natives are members of the original Indigenous peoples of North America. Tribal nations have been recognized as sovereign since their first interaction with European settlers. The United States continues to recognize this unique political status and relationship. - http://www.ncai.org/about-tribes

Native Americans can vote in US Presidential elections. After the passage of the 1924 citizenship bill, it still took over forty years for all fifty states to allow Native Americans to vote.

There are so many nations/tribes in Oklahoma. This anon's chiropractor is Chickasaw. I call him my "medicine man" and he is not the least bit offended, and actually appreciates the nick name. There are also Native American activist groups, like the one this anon met at Save the Children rally in OKC last month.

Here's a list of the nations/tribes in Oklahoma and a link to what their license plates look like: Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation, Citizen-Potawatomi Nation, Eastern Shawnee Tribe, Kaw Nation, Kickapoo Tribe, Miami Nation, Modoc Tribe, Northern Cherokee Nation, Otoe-Missouria Tribe, Ottawa Tribe, Pakawani Nation, Peoria Nation, Seneca Cayuga Tribe, Shawnee Tribe, Southern Cherokee Nation, Tonkawa Tribe, Wichita Tribe. - http://www.worldlicenseplates.com/usa/AI_OKNA.html pic related

Got it. There's been a lot of shake up after the Supreme Court ruling this year. Lot's of pow-wows going on, to be sure.

Supreme Court recognizes Native sovereignty in much of Oklahoma -

A recent Supreme court ruling has given Native Americans in Oklahoma renewed sovereignty over their tribal lands — an area of roughly 19 million acres.

The land in question marked the end of the Trail of Tears for the five tribes that underwent forced relocation in the mid-1800s: the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole, and Muscogee Creek. They built a new life in eastern Oklahoma, only to have their land stripped away, bit by bit, over the next century and a half.

But this past summer, in a historic 5-4 decision for which Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion, the Supreme Court reaffirmed in McGirt v. Oklahoma that the boundaries of Muscogee (Creek) Nation still exist — meaning the tribe, not the state of Oklahoma, holds some key jurisdictional powers.

“The simplest way to say what happened is that prior to this ruling, Oklahoma was exerting criminal jurisdiction over us, and Oklahoma no longer has that criminal jurisdiction."

“The simplest way to say what happened is that prior to this ruling, Oklahoma was exerting criminal jurisdiction over us, and Oklahoma no longer has that criminal jurisdiction,” explains Rebecca Nagle, a member of Cherokee Nation and host of the podcast “This Land,” which tracks the pair of cases that led to the Supreme Court ruling.

“It never actually had it in the first place; it was exercising it illegally,” she says. “Now, the Supreme Court has basically told them that they have to stop. So now, crimes committed against Native Americans or by Native Americans will have to be prosecuted either by the tribe or by the federal government.”
