Question Presented (from Petition)

1.)Is Ms. Crossett on Indian land, a reservation established in the 1836 and 1855 treaties, not disestablished with intent by congress, and does Little Traverse Bay Bands or Federals have jurisdiction over her. Did the lower courts err in passing over the "new" Indian jurisdiction isssue, resulting in great injustice?

2.)Did Sixth Circuit err in upholding Summary judgment, though respondents violated Ms. Crossett's constitutional rights and state claim, losing immunity?

3.)Is Ms. Crossett's post-incarceration relief for damages barred by the "favorable termination" theory in Heck v Humphrey ,?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is Ms. Crossett on Indian-land, reservation-established, jurisdiction, treaty-rights, tribal-sovereignty, federal-jurisdiction
