If you're not an Indian (us legal term) then I believe you can file a federal case, can you? Tribal law can't supercede basic American law from what I understand especially not when there's a non Indian involved.
- JumpCrisscross 3mo ago> Tribal law can't supercede basic American law It does if you're on tribal land–that's generally held to ber sovereign territory by U.S. law (at least for commercial disputes). But if you're an American outside tribal land, and are not an Indian, I believe you're right. (Counterpoint, sort of: Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl [1].)
