Wagnon (formerly Richards) vs Prarie Band Potawatomie (PBP) (04-631), the NCAI amicus brief.

Oddly on-point when another sovereign (Venezuela) offers petroleum products to Tribes at below market prices. Can Kansas, or the US, tax the petroleum products delivered to Tribes via Kansas, or the United States, at their market value? Stay tuned.

I recommend the NCAI brief. Really. The only thing I see missing from it (pre-coffee reading) is that Kansas proposes to tax the sale of gasoline by Tribe to member Indians. What next? State income tax for reservation incomes? State housing tax for tribal housing?
