A member of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation is seeking a refund of income taxes she paid to the state of Connecticut

Jo-Ann Dark-Eyes lives on land within the tribe's settlement area. She says it is considered Indian Country and cannot be subject to state taxes.

The parcel was taken into trust for the tribe in 1998 but Dark-Eyes is seeking a refund from 1996 because of the settlement status.

The case is being heard in state court.
