 Blue Fox, Inc. v. United States
Because the Miller Act does not provide a remedy for subcontractors against the government, the dis- trict court held that nonstatutory remedies were barred and the APA could not apply to waive immunity.
In recognizing that the Miller Act's provision of a remedy to sue on the bond did not preclude the assertion of an equitable lien, we quoted approvingly from a Second Cir- cuit case that presented a similar question: `Prior to the waiver of immunity, subcontractors pos- sessed an equitable right.
The purpose of the Act "is to protect those who would have materialmen's and workmen's liens under state law if they were not working on a structure exempt as a federal public work or building." United Bonding Ins.

 Native Americans and the Law : Native Americans Under Current United States Law
By electing, according to the terms of the Indian Reorganization Act, not to opt out of the Act's coverage, these tribes were empowered by Congress to borrow funds for economic development and form tribal corporations.
Under the Act in its present version, for example, tribal courts are denied the power to impose sentences in criminal cases in excess of $5000 and/or one year in jail.
Other states, on the other hand, including Oklahoma, have made provision for tribal court decisions to be recognized in the state courts, thus making at least theoretically possible the full participation of tribal courts in the national justice system.
