Five members of the Meskwaki Tribe of Iowa say they are owed $788,000 in per capita payments.
The tribe suspended payments to Don Wanatee, Leo Dean Peters, Delores Troxell, Lyle Walker and Edland Walker in 2004 amid a leadership dispute that led to the temporary closure of the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel.
The payments were restored in 2010 but the group says they are still owed back payments.
The five filed a lawsuit in federal court against the tribe.
