The following excerpt is from Babbitt Ford, Inc. v. Navajo Indian Tribe, 710 F.2d 587 (9th Cir. 1983):
9 Here, however, jurisdiction is limited to civil jurisdiction. This result is due to the holding in Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, 435 U.S. 191, 98 S.Ct. 1011, 55 L.Ed.2d 209 (1978) that Indians lack criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians.
