Tribal self-sufficiency and self-government depend in part upon a tribe's ability to raise revenue and regulate its territory, and the power to tax plays an essential role in both. Taxation authority in Indian country, however, has been one of the most litigated issues between tribes, states, and local governments. Until Congress enacts legislation clarifying jurisdictional questions, intergovernmental tax agreements can provide some level of certainty while safeguarding against costly litigation. As seen in Montana, agreements can be crafted in mutually beneficial ways that respect tribal sovereignty, making them an effective, if temporary, solution to the ongoing taxation competitions between sovereigns.

Despite a treaty in 1866 between the Cherokee Nation and the federal government granting them full tribal citizenship, Cherokee Freedmen—the descendants of African American slaves to the Cherokee, as well as of children born from unions between African Americans and Cherokee tribal members—continue to be one of the most marginalized communities within Indian Country. Any time Freedmen have sought the full rights and benefits given other Cherokee citizens, they have encountered intense opposition, including a 2007 vote that effectively ousted them from the tribe. The debates surrounding this recent decision provide an excellent case study for exploring the intersections of race and sovereignty. In this article, I use the most recent Cherokee Freedmen controversy to examine how racial discourse both empowers and diminishes tribal sovereignty, and what happens in settler-colonial contexts when the exercise of tribal rights comes into conflict with civil rights. I also explore how settler colonialism as an analytic can obscure the racialized power dynamics that undermine Freedmen claims to an indigenous identity and tribal citizenship.
