Turtle Talk 
it appears the ranch owner lacked a valid right-0f-way.
Recall in Dry Creek Lodge, the tribe barred a resort owner from his place
and the federal district court awarded damages under the Indian civil rights
act. The federal ct ignored the immunity defense.
next, the ranch will have to negotiate with the tribe for a way to get into
the ranch ….
At Fort Berthold Ind Res, like WInd RIver, homestead laws complicate the matter by allotments (indian and white) all over the place, often without easements. Finally, the tribes have to do their own land use planning, which will resolve the land – road issues.
