United States Ninth Circuit
Water Wheel Camp Recreational Area, Inc. v. LaRance, 09-17349
In a regulatory and adjudicative dispute involving an Indian tribe's civil authority over non-Indians acting on tribal land, judgment of the district court is affirmed in part and reversed in part because a tribe may exercise jurisdiction over a private, non-Indian corporation and its non-Indian owner where there are no sufficient competing state interests at play, and given Supreme Court precedent recognizing tribes' inherent civil authority over non-Indian conduct on tribal land coupled with expressed congressional interest in promoting tribal self-government.
