Seneca Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma
The Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma enjoying the same tribal sovereignty as all recognized Indian tribes in the United States. Theirs is a limited sovereignty--the tribes are recognized as "domestic dependent nations" within the United States--but to the degree permitted by that sovereignty, they are an independent nation outside of state law. The tribe's sovereignty means the state of Oklahoma is limited in the extent to which it can intervene legally in tribal matters.

The Seneca-Cayuga tribe has, in a manner of only a few decades, gone from being a destitute people to enjoying a fair amount of social prosperity by investing a large portion of their profits back into their community.
The new wealth generated by the tribe's gaming and other enterprises has enabled the tribe to provide many benefits for the members on the tribal rolls.
