Critical Race Theory evolved after a 1970s response to Critical Legal Studies. Tribal Critical Theory focuses on stories as values oral data as a main source of information. Colonization is endemic to society. White supremacy, imperialism, and a desire for material gain underpin U.S. policies toward Indigenous peoples. Indigenous identities' political and racialized natures are explained by indigenous people living in a liminal space. Tribal sovereignty, tribal autonomy, self-determination, and self-identification are aspirations of indigenous peoples. The idea of culture, information and power takes on new importance when inspected through a Native lens. The problematic goal of assimilation is at the heart of both educational policies aimed at Indigenous peoples and government policies. Understanding the lived realities of Indigenous peoples is fundamentally dependent on comprehending tribal philosophies, beliefs, traditions, and visions for the future. Tribal Critical Theory also occupies the most important lens.
