A non-Indian developer is going back to federal court to seek $28 million arbitration award against the Hualapai Tribe of Arizona.

David Jin, the developer behind the Grand Canyon Skywalk, claims the American Arbitration Association awarded him the judgment. He cites a clause in his contract with the tribe that allows arbitration.

But a separate section requires a federal court to order arbitration, The Kingman Daily Miner reported. That doesn't appear to be have happened in this case and the tribe is disputing the $28 million award.

The dispute arose when the tribe seized the Skywalk from Jim, claiming he didn't live up to his end of the deal.
