Can each district of a tribe be a member of a COG or MPO?

The Tohono Oodham Nation has 11 districts; each one cannot hold a seat at the present. Only one voting membership per government agency is currently allowed. This issue needs more thought. One argument is that each district is like a county, having its own local government jurisdiction. This may help resolve the situation where tribal boundaries overlap multiple COGs. The other argument is similar to having a city with multiple districts; each district cannot have its own member, only the city as a whole.
