Even if the tribe is enforcing the waste rules, the rules do not apply off of the reservation and the tribe does not have the authority to enforce non tribal laws off the reservatiion.
I don't know if WY is doing the right thing. My gut tells me that they should be negotiating with the tribe. I under stand that the Tribe has the upper hand in the negotiation and WY is likely to get few concessions. One concession I would think WY could get form the tribe is the right to enforce the state's waste laws on tribal members off of the reservation. If the tribe is unwilling to negotiate on waste than there is no point in negotiating and fighting in court is the only option left to WY.
Yep, and Wyoming will lose again.
