Unbecoming of any tribal member to invoke, or even evoke, non-tribal jurisdiction which egregiously compromises sovereign immunity. It is an affront that we have become “quasi-sovereigns,” no thanks to the late great Chief Justice John Marshall who served on the US Supreme Court from 1801 – 1835 during the heydays and halcyon days of land-grabbing. Anyone remembers the Yazoo land case ??
