Common questions about Tribal Law in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

Can I sue a tribe in court?

Generally no, due to tribal sovereign immunity. Tribes are immune from suit unless Congress authorizes the suit or the tribe waives immunity. Suits against tribal officers in their official capacity are also generally barred under sovereign immunity. Some commercial activities may involve narrow waivers in contracts. The Indian Civil Rights Act provides limited federal court relief through habeas corpus.

What is the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act?

IGRA, 25 USC § 2701 et seq., is the 1988 federal statute that established the framework for tribal gaming. Class III gaming (casino-style) requires a tribal-state compact. Arizona's tribal-state gaming compacts allow casino operations on reservations under negotiated terms. The National Indian Gaming Commission oversees tribal gaming nationally.

What is a state-tribal compact in Arizona?

A state-tribal compact is a formal agreement between a tribal nation and the State of Arizona on matters of shared concern - most commonly gaming under IGRA, but also tobacco taxation, vehicle licensing, and law enforcement cooperation. Compacts are negotiated at the executive level and ratified by the tribal council. Arizona's gaming compacts have been amended periodically since the original 2002 compacts.
