- Summary
- Case summary: Court of Appeals reversed dismissal of the action brought by the United States on its own behalf and on behalf of the Southern Ute and the Ute Mountain Ute Indian tribes for adjudication of reserved water rights in the San Juan Basin. The Colorado River Water Conservation District intervened as defendant asserting the McCarran Amendment provides a state court jurisdiction over the United States in suits involving adjudication of water rights and excludes federal courts from assuming jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals rejected the argument and held the United States District Court for the District of Colorado did not lack jurisdiction to hear the action and its abstention was improper.

- Summary
- Case summary: The Montana Supreme Court held that the state court has jurisdiction over an adoption proceeding that arose on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation and in which all parties are members of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and residents of the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation. On appeal, the United States Supreme Court reversed that ruling and held that the Tribal Court of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe has exclusive jurisdiction over the adoption proceeding. Montana state-court jurisdiction over such a proceeding would interfere with the powers of self-government conferred upon the Tribe by federal law and exercised through the Tribal Court.
