It depends on whether you are native or not and whether the offense is criminal or civil. If you are a member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, you can be hauled into tribal court. Otherwise, you can only be hauled into tribal court on civil charges, or they may send you off-rez to a JP court if they don't have a civil traffic code for dealing with non-natives. Good luck!
