The central legal question here is: do tribal courts have jurisdiction over non tribal members who have no legal rights within the tribal system.  This was the essence of Elizabeth Peratrovich's appeal for equality with the State of Alaska when the shoe was on the other foot.  It is strange that the state now has no comment on this case.  If it were white folks banishing blacks, the national guard would be on the front steps with guns.  Not sayin the villagers don't have a case, just that you can't sweep these legal issues under the carpet.
