About tribal courts
There were approximately 400 tribal courts in the United States as of 2021, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.[4] These courts can hear both criminal and civil cases regarding tribal code. Tribes that do not establish their own court may use a regional Court of Indian Offenses. These are also known as CFR Courts, since they were established by the Code of Federal Regulations.[5]
