MEMORANDUM OPINION
KOLLAR-KOTELLY, District Judge.
In 1995, for the first time in almost 200 years, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe exchanged their Three Chief System of government for a constitutional one composed of three branches. The process by which this exchange took place, and the Tribe’s subsequent attempts to revoke that constitutional system and to reinstate the former governing structure, provide the material for this lawsuit.
Plaintiffs invoke this Court’s jurisdiction pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 551 et seq. (the “Administrative Procedure Act” or “APA”), and 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1361.…
