Which is an example of a way Washington’s tribes can exercise their sovereignty?

Answer
A
by breaking federal laws

by operating casinos

by reorganizing state government
D
by ignoring state laws

Explanation

Tribal sovereignty is the authority of federally recognized tribes to govern themselves and make certain decisions for their communities. Operating casinos under tribal and federal gaming laws is one way tribes exercise that authority and support their communities. Sovereignty does not mean tribes can simply ignore state laws or break federal laws.
