Description
Looks at the question of whether, in a time of a public health emergency, tribal governments can enact stronger protection measures than the state in which the reservation is located. Cites the United States Supreme Court's decision in Montana v. United States, which involved tribal civil jurisdiction over nonmembers, as confirmation that they do have that right.
