There are, however, no prescribed limits to their territories, and they are still under the jurisdiction of the municipalities and states in which they are located; the indigenous peoples can elect representatives before the municipal councils. In practice, they are allowed to have an autonomous form of self-government, but they are still subject to the rights and responsibilities set forth by the federal constitution and the constitution of the states in which they are located.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eia.gov.nt.ca/en/priorities/implementing-devolution-agreement/aboriginal-peoples-and-devolution|title=Aboriginal Peoples and Devolution|last=Affairs|first=Executive and Indigenous|website=www.eia.gov.nt.ca|language=en|access-date=2019-02-22}}</ref>
