The district court determined that the Cherokee Nation
was a required party under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
26
19(a).6 Having concluded that the district court erred in
holding that the Cherokee Nation was amenable to suit, we
reverse the judgment in part. On remand, the district court
must determine whether “in equity and good conscience” the
suit can proceed with the Cherokee Nation’s officers but
without the Cherokee Nation itself. See FED. R. CIV. P. 19(b).
So ordered.
