Same-sex marriage under United States tribal jurisdictions
The Supreme Court decision in ''Obergefell v. Hodges'' that legalized same-sex marriage in the states and most territories did not legalize same-sex marriage on Indian lands. In the United States, Congress (not the federal courts) has legal authority over Indian country. Thus, unless Congress passes a law regarding marriage equality on Indian tribes, federally recognized American Indian tribes have the legal right to form their own marriage laws.
As such, the individual laws of the various United States federally recognized Native American tribes set the limits on same-sex marriage under their jurisdictions.
Most, but not all, Native American jurisdictions have no special regulation for marriages between people of the same sex or gender. Many Native American belief systems include the two-spirit descriptor for gender variant individuals and accept two-spirited individuals as valid members of their tribes. Same-sex marriage is possible in at least 26 Native American tribes, beginning with the Coquille Indian Tribe (Oregon) in 2009. Marriages performed in these Native American tribes were first recognized by the federal government in 2013 after section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was declared unconstitutional in ''United States v. Windsor''.
==Nations that provide legal recognition==
In some instances Tribal law has been changed to specifically address same-sex marriage. In other cases, tribal law specifies that state law and state jurisdiction govern marriage relations for the tribal jurisdiction.
