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 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 ten 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.
