Indians Win Battle Of Taxing Resources
The Supreme Court ruled tribes may levy severance taxes on natural resources taken from reservation lands, a victory for the Jicarilla Apache and a potential model for other tribes. The decision could affect oil and gas leases on Navajo and other reservations. Lawyers hailed the ruling as crucial for tribal revenues supporting services like roads and police. The decision also touched ERA litigation and other matters, leaving ongoing battles to state legislatures and courts.
