ABOUT THE PUEBLO OF SANDIA

Sandia Pueblo’s government is similar to that of a state government in terms of
structure and authority. Like all governments, Sandia Pueblo has certain rights
and responsibilities. It can levy taxes on sales of goods and services within
the reservation boundaries. It develops and enforces its own laws, planning and
zoning regulations, building codes, etc. It provides for education, law
enforcement, judicial and municipal services to all residents on the
reservation. There is a Tribal Council that serves a function similar to a
state’s house or senate. The Council is responsible for passing laws and
resolutions, overseeing business operations, deciding on capital improvement
projects and economic development initiatives. A Governor, Lt. Governor,
Warchief, and Lt. Warchief are appointed for annual terms according to Sandia’s
cultural tradition. Each man can be appointed to consecutive terms. The Governor
and Warchief will become Tribal Council members for life. The Warchief and Lt.
Warchief are responsible for all religious activities held in the Pueblo. The
Governor oversees day to day government operations, while the Lt. Governor is
the Tribal Court Judge.

Like all governments, Sandia Pueblo must fund the services it offers to its
residents. Although Sandia Pueblo is a taxing authority, there is not a large
enough tax base to support the services it provides. Sandia Pueblo, along with
all local governments, receives limited federal monies for various programs.
Most state governments operate business enterprises and many offer gaming in the
form of lotteries, etc.. It is income from various enterprises, especially
gaming income, that makes it possible for Sandia Pueblo to fund its government
and social programs. The positive impact of gaming revenue is allowing Sandia
Pueblo to address some long-standing deficiencies, especially social services
and infrastructure needs.


THE ADMINISTRATION

The Pueblo of Sandia, like all federally recognized tribes, is a sovereign
nation. Indian Nations are distinct political communities, having territorial
boundaries, within which their authority is exclusive, and having a right to all
the lands within those boundaries, which is not only acknowledged but guaranteed
by the United States. (Worcester v. Georgia, 6 Pet. 515, 557, 8L. Ed. 483, 499
1832). Tribal sovereignty is guaranteed by treaties between Indian Nations and
the US government. It is important to note that these treaties do not grant
rights from the US government to Indian Nations, but rather from Indian Nations
to the US government.
