>You would no longer be a US citizen

You would also still have US citizenship. You don't lose that unless you formally renounce it.

A tribe member is still a US citizen. They just aren't State citizens (residents).

Assuming you are planning to work in the US your income will still be taxed. And based on the rules from the Eduardo Saverin case you won't be able to escape taxes on what you earned before you left.

So it doesn't really work.

Yeah, you're right. In Canada, "status indians" get a tax exempt card to avoid sales tax at least. I didn't realize that in the US all American Natives are actually considered US citizens and are taxed federally just like everyone else. Only the tribe itself is tax exempt.

That is according to: https://www.thebalance.com/do-native-americans-pay-taxes-417...
