A fact from Same-sex marriage in tribal nations in the United States appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 January 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
To be checked if interpretation of the Code is correct :
The Tribal Code of the Puyallup Tribe of the Puyallup Reservation (State of Washington) considers as validly contracted the marriage between two members of the Tribe if validly contracted according to the laws of the foreign juridiction ( Art. 7.08.010(a) ) or if contracted within tribal land either according to the law of the State of Washington, allowing same-sex-marriage, or the laws of the Tribe ( Art. 7.08.010(b) ). By restriction, a marriage between a Puyallup and a non-Puyallup is validly contracted "only by the parties’ complying with applicable state or foreign law" (Art. 7.08.020) See : Puyallup Tribal Codes, Chapter 7.08 Domestic relations code, Articles 7.08.010 & 7.08.020.
So, for example, if well understood, a homosexual couple of two Puyallups - or of a Puyallup and a Washingtonian (or a Belgian), married in the State of Washington (or Belgium) or within the Puyallup Reservation (according to Washingtonian law), would be recognized as validly married.
Per the 2010 census, Knik, with 6,600 native residents, would qualify for the top-20 by population. However, it's an Alaskan Native Village Statistical Area, and it doesn't seem those 6,600 people are subject to a single sovereign govt. See Knik website.[1]
That document does contain that text; it's just not searchable because the text is stored in the PDF not as text but as an image of text. (One interesting sign of the change in law is 11.01.020 c), which has one sentence listing all the women that it is "unlawful for any person to marry" (aunts an such), and then a similar sentence listing all the men. Presumably, an earlier version had the first sentence listing who it was unlawful for any man to marry and the second any woman, and this was the simplest path to addressing the newly-introduced problem combinations.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 21:37, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
