From how I understand things, IF the state files against the Tribes, the tribes have an option to take the case to Tribal court or Federal. If the Tribes file against the State, it goes to Federal.

That's why the Tribes just keep not complying, they just wait out the State... Point no Point and Skokomish River come to mind.

I may be wrong. If there are any experts, please chime in.
