National tribal judge group questions firing in disenrollment case

The National American Indian Court Judges Association is expressing concerns about a closely-watched disenrollment dispute in Washington state.

The group isn't taking a position on underlying issue -- whether the Nooksack Tribe can remove more than 300 people from the rolls. But the board of directors is questioning whether the chief judge on the reservation was fired because she ruled against the tribal council.
