Actually, Federally-recognized Native American tribes have a government-to-government relationship with the United States and ARE seen as being sovereign nations.

For all the good it does them ...  Sad  

Like I stated, so is California and Texas. The Constitution grants only the Federal government the authority to "coin." There is no exemption to Native Americans outside of treaties. If they had a need for their own currency, they would already have it.

Under International Law all indigenous populations have the right to adopt their own currency independent of their host nations (granted most host nations ignore international laws).

 
And it should be that way, but the US has more of a "sit down and shut up" approach when it comes to respecting others rights. Native Americans in California couldn't even have casinos until the state put it up for vote. That is not very sovern when the state gets the final say on what the indigenous people can and can't do on there own land.
