Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Indian Reservation v. Lujan
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Decided April 3, 1991No. 90-35192PublishedCited by 40 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
SKOPIL, Circuit Judge:
We are asked on this appeal to determine if the district court properly dismissed an action brought by various groups of Indians against federal officials. These Indians challenge the United States’ continuing recognition of the Quinault Indian Nation as the sole governing authority for the Quinault Indian Reservation. The district court dismissed the action after concluding that the Quinault Nation is an indispensable party that cannot be joined in the action. 129 F.R.D. 171. We affirm.
