As we continued our ongoing lessons about government, we read about tribal governments today. We read about the treaties made between European settlers when they came to America and signed treaties with the Native American groups. We learned that Native Americans are citizens of the United States but are also citizens of their own tribal nations; they are citizens in the state in which they live and vote in national, state, and local elections. We read that they also have their governments and that tribal members choose leaders and make laws. Jack found it interesting that states can't tell the tribal governments what to do; they work to preserve their own cultures. He was also invited to help a classmate put together a car with Legos and built a structure resembling the car in Minecraft.
