I was reading somewhere, I can't remember where, that Tribes DO govern their land and that they can make their own rules.
They do but they have only been afforded the authority to enforce those rules against tribal members. Non-tribal members follow state law and any infraction or arrest against a non-tribal member can only be for a local or state law.
That is changing on some tribes though. Some of our local tribes are enacting and getting granted soon powers to try and convict non tribal criminals.
Most natives I know are pro 2A. I have carried on my local tribe on many occasions mostly concealed because it was mostly business, but the times I have open carried or have discussions, they were for it. Of course most these were from relatives.
Ty like Hawaiians native americans viewed being armed as a right long before Europeans in America wrote the 2A. One very likely origen of the 2a comes from the this concept and contact with indigenous people.
That doesn't mean that all tribes or if you are not known to tribal members that you will get away with open carrying on the soveriegn land without being trespassed, or worse.
