Talton v. Mayes 163 U.S. 376 was an 1896 United States Supreme Court case in which the court decided that the individual rights protections which limit federal and later state governments do not apply to tribal government. It reaffirmed earlier decisions such as the 1831 Cherokee Nation v. Georgia case that gave Indian tribes the status of domestic dependent nations the sovereignty of which is independent of the federal government.
