Soren Stokes · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Article One of Eighth section of the constitution mentions that Congress have the power control commerce among several states, foreign nation and with Indian tribes. Which clearly shows that the Indian tribes were separate from the foreign nations, the states and federal government. According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs there are at least 573 Native American tribes recognised by the federal government.
