State seeks police agreement with tribe

THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2003

The state of Nebraska and the Omaha Tribe are pursuing an agreement to allow the tribe's police force to enforce traffic laws on non-Indians.

Non-Indians were complaining about a sobriety checkpoint the tribe set up last month in the town of Pender. Although Pender is within reservation boundaries, local officials believe the tribe has lost jurisdiction.
