18-1-108. SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY.

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe, and all its constituent parts, including the Land Use and Environment Commission established pursuant to this Title, are immune from suit in any jurisdiction, except to the extent that such immunity has been expressly and unequivocally waived by the Tribe in this Title or elsewhere. Nothing in this Title shall be construed as waiving the sovereign immunity of the Tribe or any of its constituent parts, including the Land Use and Environment Commission, its members, the Director of Land Use and Environment and the Director of Natural Resources; except that the Commission, its members, and the Directors shall be subject to suit for prospective, equitable relief (including declaratory and injunctive relief) only in proceedings before the Commission and Tribal Court, nor any enforcement action taken pursuant to this Title, shall constitute a waiver of such sovereign immunity as to any claim for damages, attorneys fees or costs, regardless of whether any such claim arises out of the same transaction or occurrence, or in any other in any other respect. Nothing in this Title shall be construed as a legislative declaration of tribal liability under federal or state environmental laws or as a waiver of tribal sovereign immunity with respect thereto.
