In Oertwich v. Traditional Village of Togiak, 2022 WL 951272 (9th Cir. 2022), Oertwich, a non-Native, had lived in Togiak, an Alaskan Native Village (Tribe), for over thirty years and operated the Airport Inn there.
A federal judge in Wisconsin dismissed on Wednesday a wrongful termination suit against the Lac Courte Oreilles Community Health Center, finding the organization immune from those allegations because it is an entity of the local Native American tribe.
