“[L]ack of an alternative forum does not automatically prevent dismissal of a suit. Sovereign immunity may leave a party with no forum for its claims.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Even assuming we were to agree with [Plaintiffs’] contention' that the 1875 Act unmistakably and clearly waives the immunity of the Nation, we would affirm the district court’s judgment on the ground that the renewal provisions of [the] 1875 Act applied only to the original renewals and do not extend to the present renewals.... The 1875 Act does not authorize a perpetual renewal, and without clear language to that effect, we will not construe the statute to confer such a right.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he dismissal turns on the fact that society has consciously opted to shield Indian tribes from suit without congressional or tribal consent.”
