- El gobierno federal de Estados Unidos le reconoce a las tribus indígenas americanas su derecho a establecer los límites sobre el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo en sus jurisdicciones tribales. En la mayoría, pero no todas, de las jurisdicciones tribales estadounidenses no existe una regulación especial para estos. Desde la declaración de inconstitucional de la sección 3 de la Ley de defensa del matrimonio éstos matrimonios son reconocidos a nivel federal por el gobierno. (es)
- 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 reservations. In the United States, Congress (not the federal courts) has legal authority over tribal reservations. Thus, unless Congress passes a law regarding same-sex marriage that is applicable to tribal governments, 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 may set limits on same-sex marriage under their jurisdictions. At least twelve reservations specifically prohibit same-sex marriage and do not recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions; these reservations, alongside American Samoa, remain the only parts of the United States to enforce explicit bans on same-sex couples marrying. Most federally recognized tribal nations have their own courts and legal codes but do not have separate marriage laws or licensing, relying instead on state law. A few do not have their own courts, relying instead on CFR courts under the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In such cases, same-sex marriage is legal under federal law. Of those that do have their own legislation, most have no special regulation for marriages between people of the same sex or gender, and most accept as valid marriages performed in other jurisdictions. Many Native American belief systems include the two-spirit descriptor for gender variant individuals and accept two-spirited individuals as valid members of their communities, though such traditional values are seldom reflected explicitly in the legal code. Same-sex marriage is possible on at least forty-seven reservations with their own marriage laws, beginning with the Coquille Indian Tribe (Oregon) in 2009. Marriages performed on these reservations 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. (en)
