I expect will see more of it. Companies, especially public ones, may be regarded as sociopaths of greed. Any and all actions are divided from any morality unless the public acts back with government action. So any act that is a technicality in order to gain more wealth will be done. We've already seen contracts widely used as a way to dissolve the sovereignty of US states and bypass their laws. Further proxying through native american tribes is an easy leap to try to further subvert any morals or justice encoded by the public in law.

We'll see less of it. The point of the court ruling was to prevent tribes from being used as legal proxies. If a company wants to transfer legal rights to a tribe, it means they're also going to need to transfer actual independent ownership interests as well. We've already seen contracts widely used as a way to dissolve the sovereignty of US states and bypass their laws. Contracts are enforced at the state level (not the federal level), so I'd like to know what cases you're referring to here?
