The Court interprets Tribal law, resolves disputes within its jurisdiction, issues published judicial opinions, and safeguards the constitutional, treaty, and governmental principles upon which the Tribe is founded.
"Justice is secured through the faithful application of law, the preservation of the People's covenant, and the exercise of self-government."
— Chief Mathias El

OFFICIAL PUBLISHED OPINION
Land Designation — Principal Governmental & Judicial Seat
Publication No. MET-SC-OP-2026-002
The Supreme Court has issued an Official Published Opinion addressing the judicial construction and authenticated institutional record concerning the Mathias El Tribe’s principal governmental and judicial seat and the Office of the Chief Justice and Trustee. The Opinion identifies the location, within the Tribal record, as the permanent administrative location of the Office of the Chief Justice and Trustee; a principal place of Supreme Court administration and record custody; a Mathias El Tribe Trust property-administration location; a Mathias El Tribe Medical Center location; and the Primary Protected Sanctuary designated under prior Court authority.
The Opinion further preserves and incorporates the earlier Carrington proceedings as part of the continuing judicial and property history while establishing a broader, unified institutional record. It distinguishes the Tribe’s internal governmental determinations from external legal consequences reserved to controlling law and a competent forum and establishes this Opinion as the Tribe’s primary current published authority concerning the identity and institutional functions of the location.
