From the supplier: The federal Supreme Court will hear an important case involving the sovereignty of Indian tribes under federal Indian law and state taxation. The case stems from state/county taxes paid by Westmoreland Resources Inc for operating the Absoluka Mine in Montana. The Crow Tribe argued in a suit against Montana that the taxes on the mine were preempted by federal Indian law. The tribe was upheld by the appellate and Supreme Court. The tribe is now suing to collect $58.2 million in taxes paid by Westmoreland, plus hundreds of millions of dollars in pre-judgement interest.
