Pre-1855 (time immemorial): The Warm Springs, Wasco, and Northern Paiute peoples governed themselves through traditional customs and laws long before European contact or U.S. treaties. Sovereignty is inherent to tribes and not granted by the U.S. https://t.co/iuV7BcY1aS

1937–1938: Under the Indian Reorganization Act (1934), the three tribes (Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute) formally organized as the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation.

This marked a modern written framework for self-government and jurisdiction over reservation https://t.co/MiuzJJ4G8M
Ongoing: The tribes operate their own Tribal Court with civil and criminal jurisdiction over matters on the reservation (especially involving tribal members).
