Turtle Talk

Here, the Eighth Circuit affirmed the DCT opinion rejecting the jurisdiction of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians tribal court over a tort claim arising out of an auto wreck on a state highway within the reservation. Judge Murphy concurred in a separate opinion, noting the distinction between the Red Lake Reservation, which has never been ceded, and the reservation of the Mandad, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, where the Strate case arose.
