National Farmers Union Insurance Cos. v. Crow Tribe, 471 U.S. 845 (1985), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that tribal court remedies must be exhausted before tribal court jurisdiction can be challenged in federal court.^[1]^[2]

Significance

This case ensured that tribal courts would be able to decide questions of tribal civil jurisdiction on their own, at least initially. However, later cases like Strate v. A-1 Contractors and Nevada v. Hicks narrowed the exhaustion requirement from this case.^[2]
