15-4-106. SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY AND WAIVER.

1. Sovereign Immunity of the Tribal Entity.
   
   A tribal entity is clothed by federal law with all the privileges and immunities of the Tribe, except as specifically limited by the tribal entity Charter, including sovereign immunity from suit in any state, federal or tribal court. Nothing in this Chapter shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of sovereign immunity of a tribal entity from suit or to be a consent of the tribal entity or the Tribe, to the jurisdiction of the United States or of any state with regard to the business or affairs of the tribal entity or to any cause of action, case or controversy, except as provided herein.
2. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity of the Tribal Entity.
   
   Sovereign immunity of the tribal entity may be waived only by express resolution of the governing body of the tribal entity after consultation with its attorneys. All waivers of sovereign immunity must be preserved with the resolutions of the governing body of the tribal entity of continuing force and effect. Waivers of sovereign immunity shall not be general but shall be specific and limited as to duration, grantee, transaction, property or funds, if any, of the tribal entity subject thereto, court having jurisdiction pursuant thereto and law applicable thereunder. Neither the power to sue and be sued provided in the charter of the tribal entity, nor any express waiver of sovereign immunity by resolution of the tribal entity shall be deemed a consent to the levy of any judgment, lien or attachment upon property of the tribal entity other than property specifically pledged or assigned, or any property of the Tribe, or a consent to suit in respect of any land within the exterior boundaries of the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation or a consent to the alienation, attachment or encumbrance of any such land.
3. Sovereign Immunity of the Tribe.
   
   All inherent sovereign rights of the Tribe as a federally-recognized Indian tribe with respect to the existence and activities of the tribal entity are hereby expressly reserved, including sovereign immunity from suit in any state, federal or tribal court. Nothing in a tribal entity charter shall be deemed or construed to be a waiver of sovereign immunity from suit of the Tribe or to be a consent of the Tribe to the jurisdiction of the United States or of any state with regard to the business or affairs of the tribal entity or the Tribe or to any cause of action case or controversy, except as provided herein.
4. Credit of the Tribe.
   
   Nothing in a tribal entity charter, nor any activity of any tribal entity, shall implicate or in any way involve the credit of the Tribe.
5. Inclusion in Charter.
   
   The provisions of subsection (a)-(d) of this Section shall be included in the charter of each tribal entity.
