Imagine that you’re a Native American judge serving on a court in Indian Territory. A person suspected of committing a crime in the United States has fled to the territory. Would you hear the case? Would you order the accused to be sent back to the United States? Or would you ignore the case entirely? Explain and defend your answer in 50–100 words.

If I were a judge in Indian Territory, I would order the accused to be sent to Fort Smith for trial. Tribal courts have no real jurisdiction over people from the United States who have committed crimes. If the accused isn’t a tribal citizen, I can’t hear the case. But I also can’t simply ignore the case. To do so might endanger other people or the community. At Fort Smith, the person who committed the crime will face a fair trial and, if found guilty, a fair punishment.
