Concept information
Preferred term
Native American communities
Definition
- In the United States, Native American communities are a particular type of association, like those of other racial and ethnic communities based primarily on a common identity such as African American, or Arab American, and so forth. However, unlike other communities of kinship, national origin, and voluntary association, Native American communities include those communities more rigidly defined by federal and state governments as Indian tribes, a term whose meaning has evolved from cultural connotations to jurisprudential canon.
