The Pointe Au Chien Tribe of Louisiana has sued BP over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The tribe says the spill destroyed its land, burial grounds and historical sites. Tribal members who depend on subsistence fisheries are now out of work.

The tribe lacks federal recognition.
