PAP.14.3.020 Sovereignty

The Tribe is a sovereign nation, with inherent reserved rights recognized through federal treaties; as such the tribe exists within the geographical boundaries of the United States. Immunity from private lawsuits is one aspect of inherent tribal sovereignty. Immunity from suit means that no private lawsuit can be maintained against the Tribe unless the Tribe consents to the action. Nothing in this manual, constitutes a waiver of the Tribe's inherent sovereign immunity.
