A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that was filed by a former gaming employee of the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas.
Robert Nanomantube is a not a member of the tribe but he is a Kickapoo
descendant and he lives in the state. He says the tribe violated its Indian
preference policy by hiring a non-Indian as the general manager of the Golden Eagle Casino.
Judge Richard Rogers said he lacked jurisdiction to hear the case due to the tribe's sovereign immunity. Nanomantube has a similar lawsuit pending in tribal court.
