The Nooksack Tribe of Washington has ordered a dump operating on individual Indian land to shut down.

The tribe asserted jurisdiction although the parcel is not within reservation boundaries. A local county also said it wanted to take control.

The land is allotted to tribal members who in turn leased it to the dump operators. The operators are appealing the tribe's order.
