I know that the tribes have no freedom now; you could not do anything like a charter city without changing the Federal laws. The laws need to be changed.
Some places would refuse to sell land to outsiders, but some would. The tribal governments should be able to, without Federal oversight, choose to either manage land communally, or assign property rights to individuals.
I’m not intimately familiar with how the law treats Canadian tribes, but you might find this project (Senakw) being developed by the Squamish Nation in Vancouver interesting. In short, they’re building a new development adjacent to Vancouver and because they’re a tribe are exempt from all the usual planning and zoning regualtions.
