You do know Pine Ridge is in North Dakota and White Clay is in Nebraska ~ right ~ different states. The tribe, which has sovereignty under a number of treaties, has to go to federal court to sue anybody.

Not many choices, so "if they succeed" all that means is that the federal courts are open to handle federal suits.

HISTORY NOTE: The Pine Ridge Reservation extends all over the place. There are a couple of ancient sacred sites that show up as little outliers South in Nebraska further East. Those are graveyards. Just about anybody ~ white, black, Indian, whatever ~ who dies in the area ends up there. Folks doing geneology may be surprised to find a non-Indian ancestor on the list of burials.
