The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a former employee at the Golden Eagle Casino.
The tribe is raising a sovereign immunity defense to the lawsuit by Robert Nanomantube. The tribe also says Nanomantube failed to exhaust his tribal remedies, citing a lawsuit pending in tribal court.
Nanomantube served as acting manager of the casino. He says the tribe violated its Indian preference policy by hiring a non-Indian for the position.
Nanomantube is a Kickapoo descendants but is not a member of the tribe. The tribe says the preference policy didn't apply in his situation.
