Yavapai-Apache Nation v. La Posta Band of Dieg
This appeal arises from a contract dispute between two Indian tribes: Yavapai-Apache Nation (YAN) and La Posta Band of Diegueno Mission Indians (La Posta). YAN is an Arizona-based tribe with about 2,400 members, and La Posta is a California-based tribe with about 15 adult members. In the parties' contract, La Posta promised to repay more than $23 million to YAN for funds borrowed to develop a casino that later proved unsuccessful. The parties waived sovereign immunity in their contract.
