Does the Montana Rule of Civil Procedure apply to a plaintiff who is not a member of a tribal plaintiff?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from County of Lewis v. Allen, 141 F.3d 1385 (9th Cir. 1997):

Application of the Montana rule was thrown into question by our decision in Hinshaw v. Mahler, 42 F.3d 1178 (9th Cir.1994). In that case, we appeared to hold that a tribe generally has jurisdiction over nonmember defendants for torts on its reservation, where the tribe's jurisdiction has not been limited by statute or treaty. A car-motorcycle accident on a federal highway between nonmembers of the tribe killed the motorcycle driver. His mother, a tribal member, sued the automobile driver in tribal court for wrongful death, and we upheld the tribal court's assertion of jurisdiction.
