Indigenous Sovereignty: The THRONATEESKA KINCHAFOONEE Nation
After generations of misclassification and cultural erasure, the THRONATEESKA KINCHAFOONEE Tribe is asserting their aboriginal rights and tribal standing. Discover how this indigenous nation is fighting for recognition under federal and International Law.
The tribe's rights are protected under multiple Constitutional amendments, including the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments.
Key cases like Worcester v. Georgia (1832), Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez (1978), and Kiowa Tribe v. Manufacturing Techs (1998) affirm tribal sovereignty and immunity.
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and other international frameworks recognize the tribe's right to self-determination.
