Here are the questions presented:

1. Whether a contract entered into by an Indian Tribe and fully performed outside the exterior boundaries of the state in which the Tribe’s reservation is located can constitutionally subject the out of state vendor to the personal jurisdiction of the state in which the Tribe’s reservation is located.

2. Whether a state can prohibit an Indian Tribe located within its boundaries from purchasing goods from Indians on a reservation outside the state.
