State must recognize tribal auto registrations and titles

March 23rd, 2007

On February 6, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals held that Kansas may not refuse to honor the motor vehicle registrations and title issued by the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.  Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation v. Wagnon, 476 F.3d 818 (10th Cir. 2007).  The federal court held that Kansas infringed on the tribal nation’s sovereignty.

    Interesting to see if this gets expanded into drivers’ licenses.

    Also interesting to see how this information gets integrated into federal and state databases for law enforcement.
