Should have a voice
Thanks to this Wild Hunt article, I learned that there according to the 1835 New Echota treaty the Cherokee are supposed to have a delegate in the U.S. House of Representatives.
I think this is a great idea and I would make only two changes. I don't think that there should be any non-voting members of the House, all delegates should have a vote.
And I think that every Amerindian tribe recognized by the U.S. government should have a member in the U.S. House.
You should only get Senators if you are a state, but all tribes and protectorates should have an active voice in Congress.

Identity in the tribe
Friday - 18Aug2017 Filed in: Quotes & Thinkums
““They want to be someone other than who they are. That’s the great irony of identity politics: They seek identity in the tribe because they are failed individuals. They are a chain composed exclusively of weak links. What they are engaged in isn’t politics, but theater: play-acting in the hopes of achieving catharsis.””
