Viejas Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians v. Hill

Order The above case is submitted for decision. We affirm in part and remand for dismissal in part. The Viejas Group is a federally recognized Indian tribe living on a federally created reservation. The Tribe is governed in part by its general council (all tribe members over the age of 18) and in part by its tribal council (a smaller group of tribe members). The tribal council passed an ordinance requiring non-members who reside on the reservation to register with the tribe. Many non-members did register, but the appellants did not.
