A regulatory term referring to the recognized governing body of any Indian or Alaska Native tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village, community.
Indian tribal government is part of the formal vocabulary used in clean vehicle incentive eligibility, battery supply chains, and EV market-access requirements. For this glossary, the key point is understanding how the source defines the term and where that definition sits within broader compliance or data requirements.
26 U.S.C. § 30D - Clean Vehicle Credit
the recognized governing body of any Indian or Alaska Native tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village, community, component band, or component reservation, individually identified (including parenthetically) in the list published most recently as of the date of enactment of this subsection pursuant to section 104 of the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994 (25 U.S.C. 5131).
Reference: Section 30D(g)(9)
In practice, this term matters when mapping who is responsible for obligations, declarations, market placement, recordkeeping, or due-diligence steps within clean vehicle incentive eligibility, battery supply chains, and EV market-access requirements.
For Minespider, Indian tribal government is best treated as a responsibility and workflow term. The important question is which actor, document, or compliance step the source is actually assigning through this definition.
