Abstract
In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court reversed a lower court decision which upheld an eviction of a tenant from tribal housing for drug related criminal activity. Pursuant to the Blackfeet Indians Housing Authority’s grievance policy, which assures tenants right to a hearing, procedure by which hearing may be obtained, right to examine documents, be represented by counsel, present evidence and arguments, and have a decision rendered solely upon facts based at the hearing, the tenant was denied those rights to due process. The Housing Authority did not follow its own grievance process. The eviction was stayed pending the outcome of the Grievance Procedure.
