Yes, the US Constitution makes 3 allowances for Indians: 1) Article 1 Section 2 Clause 3: Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States ... and excluding Indians not taxed.

2) Article 1 Section 8 Clause 3: [Congress shall have the power] to regulate commerce with ... Indian tribes

3) Article 6 Section 2 & 3: --2-- This Constitution ... and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby --3-- The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution. Item #3 makes all Treaties signed with Indian Nations a part of the US Constitution (The Supreme Law of the Land), and requires all members of government to honor them, or commit treason by violating them.
