here is link to the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.  They don't live on a "reservation", but many Oklahoma counties are part of the Oklahoma Nation:\nhttp://www.choctawnation.com/\n\nEach "Indian" tribe or nation has it's own constitution or charter, and the services vary widely.\n\nThe United States Government also provides some health benefits to registered members of recognized tribes.

the same as the laws for everyone else.  unless your asking about tribal law and each tribe would have slightly different laws with in there nation but they are still subject to state, local and federal laws.

You're gonna have to get more specific than that. There are arctic indians, plains, plateau, california, aleutians, middle america, etc etc. There are more tribes than you could imagine, pick a region (like the plains indians for example), then google that and it'll give you a list. As far as what is "good and bad" about them, well that's all relative. There were warring tribes, horseman tribes, peaceful tribes. Since I don't know what your assignment is I can't really help more, just pick one or two and go with that, don't even try to cover them all, it would be impossible.

Why in the world would you want to?  Most reservations are pretty much ghettoes.\n\nDifferent tribes have different rules about what constitutes American Indian.  The Cherokee Nation, for example, allows you to join if you can document that you are at least 1/16 Cherokee.  (I am 1/8, but I have not joined.)

Reside in a hiber nation. \nGrin a lot.\nTo have a pot to 'Pooh' in. \nA bandaid for your 'Boo Boo'.\nA pair of 'Corduroy' pants.\nFor females: to own a 'teddy'.\nFor those yearning for yoga:  to become a 'yogi'

I think it taps into a basic human instinct to belong to a tribe. And you want your tribe to win  or it will be wiped out. So you are going to support them as passionately as possible.

It's the Bureau of Indian Affairs so, yes, the government, in cooperation with the tribe and the student's school.  The awards are not automatic, though, so you would need to do some leg-work.  According to the BIA, students with at least 1/4 Indian blood are eligible for BIA scholarships.  The Bureau also funds a number of schools and provides funding through the American Indian Graduate Center.  It seems that this one program might not pay for all the student's schooling, but there are other organizations, too, that offer scholarship funding to Native American students (many through http://www.fastweb.com ).\n\nThe site below presents a lot of detailed information about what other sources

Oh, yes; I've had the opportunity to work and do business with several people of Indian descent.  Indians are generally hard-workinig, decent, and have a sense of humor.  I love listening to that accent.

You can check with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Wikipedia has info on many Native American tribes and their respective histories.

Just being an American Indian alone does not qualify you. You must be a registered tribal member. If you are not, you need to get registered and to do that, you must prove your heritage to the Tribe's satisfaction.\n\nEach tribe has information about government monies available to that Tribe's members and you can get it from them.

"Native" Americans (Indians) are everywhere. They don't all live on reservations. They mix and mingle with other 'native' Americans. They aren't all poor either. So get off the pity train. My family is of Native American descent and we don't consider ourselves 'poor'. We have average to above average incomes, own our own homes and have college degrees (we have attorneys,doctors and business owners in our immediate family). Open your eyes, we're everwhere.\n\nIf you are talking about Americans who are 'native', meaning born here, not immigrants. We are everywhere, too. Are you blind?
