Best Answer

it depends on the state. Federally recognized Indian nations have inherent sovereignty and therefore are immune from jurisdiction in many suits. Some states, however, have civil and criminal jurisdiction over Indians and actions that occur on Indian lands pursuant to Congressional authority (see 25 U.S.C. 232, 233). In these states, service of process is allowed under the jurisdictional authority granted to that state. Also, many Indian tribes' own laws allow state court jurisdiction, which effectively acts as a waiver of sovereignty, allowing service of process.
