Meskwaki suit shows high stakes in arbitration and sovereignty
The Meskwaki tribe faces a protracted legal clash over an illegal management contract with Junkins and Associates. Arbitration was ordered, then halted by the tribe, with appeals to Iowa Supreme Court and potential federal court review. Junkins and Olson of Bluedog Olsen & Small say federal law and Indian Gaming Regulatory Act shape outcomes, with talks of a U S Supreme Court ruling to set precedent.
