The social movements, laws, and ideologies that Native American tribes in the US use to exercise self-governance and make decisions on matters that impact their own people are known as self-determination. A key component of sovereignty and the right of a people to choose their own system of government free from outside interference is self-determination, which refers to the freedom and free will of the local populace to choose their own political status and level of independence. According to Teves et al. (2015), self-determination encompasses both intellectual and tribal self-governance. Tribes exercise self-determination and sovereignty when they establish their own judicial systems, tribal police, K–12 tribal schools, and/or tribal colleges.
