The two human Rights treaties expressly
prohibit racial discrimination by the
United States, and by the several states,
because they are rendered supreme Law,
pursuant to the Supremacy Clause.
Thus, they do what the 14th amendment tried
to do, but obviously failed, because it was
never ratified.
Several Indian Tribes are special cases,
such as the Crow Indian Nation, because
their lands and societies are also recognized
by the United States. In such cases, these
tribes are commonly known as "Treaty Tribes,"
because they are Sovereign Nations with whom
the Congress has signed formal Treaties.
Again, these Treaties are supreme Law,
pursuant to the Supremacy Clause.
Other Indian tribes are NOT Treaty Tribes.
I hope this helps.
