Yankton Sioux Indian Country Case

Yet another Yankton case involving the fallout from the continuing Podhradsky litigation. This one is captioned Yankton Sioux Tribe Head Start Concerned Parents v. Longview Farms, out of the District of South Dakota. Here is the opinion: yankton-head-start-v-longview-farms-dct-order

An excerpt:

The Tribe does not have regulatory authority over the construction of the farrowing facility by Defendant, a non-Indian entity, because such facility is located on land which is not within reservation boundaries. Any claim by Plaintiffs that Defendant need present the farrowing operation to Yankton Sioux Tribe in accordance with the Article 1, section 1 of the Bylaws or Yankton Sioux Constitution is therefore without merit and must be dismissed.
