When a Tribe thinks about risk management and insurance, it may first wonder whether it really needs to worry about it because of its unique defense of sovereign immunity. This defense, however, has come under much fire in recent years and is slowly being eroded. Many tribes have also become “deep pockets” that are the target of many plaintiffs’ counsel. So, even though Tribes might have sovereign immunity against many third-party claims, they are certainly not immune to loss.
