Interactions between tribal governments and local governments are often complicated due to two main factors. Firstly, tribal governments operate under their own sovereign authority, which can sometimes conflict with or overlap with the jurisdiction of the local government. This can lead to disagreements and confusion regarding the exercise of governmental power and decision-making processes. Secondly, historical and ongoing issues related to land rights, territorial disputes, and resource management can further complicate the relationship between tribal and local governments. These complexities often require a careful negotiation and cooperation between the two entities to address and resolve any conflicts that arise.
