Re: I am a native on the white Earth reservation.
You should consult a criminal defense lawyer familiar with American Indian law right away, who could help you - presumably closer than the twin cities. If Minnesota law applies on the reservation, then you have only thirty days from the license revocation and the notice of intent to seize and forfeit motor vehicle, to file legal challenges in court to those government actions. Thirty days. And your lawyer will need some time to prepare those. Therefore, consult such a lawyer as soon as possible!
If you were to win those cases, you would get your license back, and your car -- though the would each be separate cases.
Normally it would not be worth it to hire me to do a case on White Earth, unless it was a big case, due to extra cost of travel from the twin cities.
