No. The subject matter jurisdiction of the Judiciary is limited to sources of tribal law, including tribal common law derived and developed from the Traditional Court’s articulation of tradition and custom. Constitution of the Ho-Chunk Nation, Art. VII, § 5(a); see also Ho-Chunk Nation v. Harry Steindorf et al., SU 00-04 (HCN S. Ct., Sept. 29, 2000).
