Oct. 1, 2009: Twenty-Nine Palms v Governor Schwarzenegger
The Tribe has filed suit against the State of California to evade personal income taxes. The Tribe is claiming that they could not build homes on reservation land. While the suit speaks of the Reservation in Coachella it omits the reservation in Twenty Nine Palms.
Tribes who reside on reservations do not have to pay state taxes. But if tribal members live on fee land individuals must pay like anyone else.
