About tribal courts
There were approximately 400 tribal courts in the United States as of 2021, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.[3] These courts can hear both criminal and civil cases regarding tribal code. Tribes that do not establish their own court may use a regional Court of Indian Offenses. These are also known as CFR Courts, since they were established by the Code of Federal Regulations.[4]
Jurisdiction
The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation Tribal Court exercises general jurisdiction over the tribe, including child welfare and guardianship cases.[1]
History
The court was legally established under the Smith River Rancheria Tribal Court Ordinance, which was approved on April 25, 2006.[5]
