A federal magistrate has denied a request from a tribal member serving time on a murder conviction to intervene in the Northern Arapaho Tribe’s federal lawsuit against the state of Wyoming and Fremont County over a long-standing boundary dispute.
Federal Magistrate William C. Beaman during late December denied a request from Andrew John Yellowbear Jr. to intervene in the tribe’s lawsuit. The tribe sued the state and county in September arguing that they had been improperly taxing tribal members living in Riverton and other areas nearby.
