On November 7, 1785 , a group of Native American families gathered in a farmhouse near present-day Deansboro , New York .
The tribe established a governing committee to be reelected yearly , appointed various officials, and commenced the business of self-government.
Today , the Brothertown Indian Nation still abides by its founding traditions.
Frida Ghitis: For Brothertown , independence didn’t require appealing to some international tribunal or the “opinions of mankind” She says it was primarily about creating a new home: a political space where tribal members could self-govern and settle disputes.
Ghitis says the U.S. Constitution rules over Native nations as a kind of imperial law.
The U.S. dealt with Brothertown as a sovereign tribal nation until 1839 , when an act of Congress granted the tribe’s members US . citizenship while declaring that “their power of making or executing their own laws, usages, or customs, as such tribe, shall cease.” The 1839 act didn’t really “terminate” Brothertown , which appealed to BIA to get its federal recognition reinstated in the late 20th century .
