I stand corrected. The tribe itself was not sued. Rather four tribal employees (in their official capacities) were sued for violating the Endangered Species Act by WFC. The tribe agreed to stop stocking Chambers Creek origin steelhead and the federal court ultimately dismissed the case as the tribe received permits from NMFS to operate their programs. Nevertheless, suing the tribal director of river restoration, the tribal hatchery manager, the tribal fisheries manager, and their habitat manager had, more or less, the same effect as suing the tribe, as Carcassman says, some legal hair splitting.
