Native America Calling: Is the sky the limit for tribal sovereignty?
Wednesday, May 8, 2024
Is the sky the limit for tribal sovereignty?
Tribes can enact laws and take actions that relate to tribal land. But the ability for tribes to dictate what happens in the skies over that land is less clear.
The Federal Aviation Administration is the main authority controlling the use of airspace. But the growing proliferation of drones and small personal aircraft is prompting researchers and some tribes to explore how to assert jurisdiction to what happens overhead.
Join Native America Calling to discuss some of the current limits and possibilities for exerting sovereign influence over tribal airspace.
