No they are semi-autonomous reservations. As that web link you posted points out the US Congress can pass legislation overriding Indian law i.e. they do not have independent government therefore they are NOT sovereign within the true meaning of that term. Nor do they have power to enter into relations with foreign states, this right having been ceded to the US government.

They are, therefore, not states. Independent government and capacity to enter into relations with other states being necessary criteria here.
