A Cedar Rapids attorney will file class action claims on behalf of about 1,000 Mesquakie Nation members to recover more than $10.1 million in taxes and interest paid to Tama County and Iowa. The suit targets real estate and road use taxes paid since 1875, asserting federal trust status exempted Indian lands from taxation. The action challenges tribal council authority and names the federal government, Tama County, and the Iowa Board of Appeals as defendants.
