Citizenships

Many people around here consider themselves as both members of the United States and of there indian nations. So when it comes to people traveling out of the country they should be able to use the passport of there federally recgonized tribe of which they consider themselves citizens. I understand that the United States wants people to use the U.S. passports as a means of security and safety, but why cant they come to an agreement in which they make the tribal passports just as secure as the US ones?. In the article they mention how the government is working on getting tribal cards with enhanced security features, but these cards are only good while traveling back into this country by land or water and cannot be used in place of a passport. I think that tribes should have the option to give there citizens there own passports as long as all of the security measures are taken. As long as the information pertaining to the individual is stated on the passport there should not be any reason tribes cannot give out there own passports. Many Native Americans feel strongly about not giving up their individual citizenship through their tribe so they can be regconized as an American citizen only. It is a big deal for people to stay apart of there nation without having to give it up just so controversy wont be caused.
