OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART MOTION TO DISMISS
ROBERTO A. LANGE, District Judge.
I. INTRODUCTION
Plaintiff Charles Colombe, a shareholder, director, and officer of BBC Entertainment, Inc. (“BBC”) filed a Complaint (Doc. 1) against Defendants Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court, and Judge Sherman Marshall (collectively “Defendants”). Plaintiff seeks de novo review of a tribal court decision regarding a casino management contract dispute and an injunction prohibiting Defendants from continuing a tribal court action to pierce the corporate veil of BBC. Defendants seek, and Plaintiff opposes, dismissal of the Complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) for lack of subject-mat[739]*739ter jurisdiction. (Doc. 5, 8, 13). On August 17, 2011, 2011 WL 3654412, this Court issued an Opinion and Order Regarding Motion to Dismiss1 (Doc. 21) resolving part of the issues and requiring submission of a tribal resolution missing from the record that affected the Court’s analysis of waiver of tribal sovereign immunity. Since that time, both parties filed additional material relating to the issues in this case. (See Doc. 27, 28, 32). This Court now denies in part the motion to dismiss.
II. FACTS
The Rosebud Sioux Tribe (“Tribe”) is a federally recognized Indian tribe that owns and operates a casino on tribal trust land within the exterior boundaries of the Rosebud Sioux Reservation. BBC is a now-dissolved Minnesota corporation that was owned in part by tribal member Charles Colombe. In June of 1994, the Tribe and BBC entered into a five-year casino management contract2 (“Contract”) pursuant to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, 25 U.S.C. §§ 2701 et seq. (“IGRA”). Article 6.4(c)(5) of the Contract required that BBC fund an initial Operation Expense Reserve (“OER”) account. (Doc. 9-1 at 37-38; Doc. 9-7 at 20). Although BBC never made an initial contribution to the OER account, the Tribe and BBC reached a subsequent oral agreement to contribute 7.5% of the casino’s net profits to the account each month. (Doc. 9-4 at 4; Doc. 9-7 at 24-25). At conclusion of the contract, BBC withdrew $415,857 from the OER account based on BBC’s belief that it was entitled to 35% of the OER account balance, consistent with the Contract’s division of net profits with 65% going to the Tribe and 35% to BBC. (Doc. 9-4 at 4).
The Tribe disputed BBC’s withdrawal of the $415,857 and brought suit against BBC in tribal court. Before Special Tribal Court Judge B.J. Jones, the Tribe argued that the oral modification concerning how to fund the OER account did not comport with IGRA and its implementing regulations. (Id. at 4-5). IGRA established a statutory basis for the regulation and operation of gaming by Indian tribes and created the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”) to oversee Indian gaming. 25 U.S.C. § 2702. Subject to the approval of the Chairman of the NIGC, Indian tribes may enter into management contracts for the operation and management of a tribe’s gaming facilities. 25 U.S.C. § 2711. Once the NIGC Chairman has approved a casino management contract, any attempt by the parties to modify the contract is void without further Chairman approval. 25 C.F.R. § 535.1. The NIGC Chairman approved the Contract in June of 1994, but no one sought approval of the later oral modification concerning funding the OER account. (Doc. 9-1 at 6). The Tribe thus contended that the modification was void and that because BBC did not make an initial contribution to the OER account, BBC was not entitled to any of the money in the account. Judge Jones disagreed with the Tribe, instead finding that “nothing in the agreement prohibited the parties from using their respective net earnings to fund an account such as the OER account ...” (Doc. 9-2 at 11).
The Tribe appealed Judge Jones’s decision to the Supreme Court of the Rosebud [740]*740Sioux Tribe. (Doc. 9-4). In its appellate brief, BBC argued that IGRA does not create a private right of action and suggested that jurisdiction to determine the legality of the Contract modification rested with the NIGC rather than the tribal court.3 (Doc. 9-3). The Rosebud Supreme Court found that the oral agreement to fund the OER account through mutual monthly contributions was void for failure to obtain the approval of the NIGC and remanded the case to Judge Jones for an accounting. (Doc. 9-4). The Court did not directly address BBC’s jurisdictional argument. Id.
The Tribe subsequently sought a rehearing en banc, contending that the Rosebud Supreme Court’s order remanding the case to Judge Jones contained certain mistakes of law and fact. (Doc. 9-6). The Rosebud Supreme Court granted the motion for a rehearing en banc, but limited the rehearing “to the sole issue of the appropriate remedy for BBC Entertainment, Inc.’s ... breach of the management contract in regard to the funding of the [OER] account.” Id. at 2. In its optional brief on rehearing, BBC asserted that the Rosebud Supreme Court had failed to discuss BBC’s jurisdictional argument in its initial remand order and argued that only the NIGC had jurisdiction to determine whether there had been an illegal modification of the Contract. (Doc. 9-5). Following the rehearing en banc, the Rosebud Supreme Court issued a Summary Order that affirmed the Court’s earlier remand to Judge Jones without discussing BBC’s jurisdictional argument. (Doc. 9-6),
On October 16, 2007, Judge Jones granted the Tribe a judgment against BBC in the amount of $399,353.61, plus interest accrued from August 15, 1999, in the amount of $127,793.15. (Doc. 9-7). BBC filed a motion for a new trial (Doc. 9-9), which was denied for failure to adhere to the Rosebud Rules of Civil Procedure. (Doc. 9-10). BBC did not appeal the judgment.
On February 17, 2009, the Tribe filed a tribal court complaint against BBC and two of its owners, Wayne Boyd and Charles Colombe. (Doc. 5-1). The complaint sought to pierce BBC’s corporate veil and to hold Boyd and Colombe personally liable for the earlier judgment against BBC. (Doc. 5-1). On March 24, 2009, Colombe responded with a motion to dismiss arguing, among other things, that the underlying judgment against BBC was void because the tribal court violated IGRA and illegally amended an NIGC ap[741]*741proved management contract. (Doe. 5-6). Tribal Judge Sherman Marshall denied Colombe’s motion to dismiss (Doc. 5-25) and later ordered Colombe to respond to written discovery by January 22, 2011. (Doc. 5-46). Colombe then filed the present complaint in federal district court.
Colombe now asks this Court to vacate the October 16, 2007 judgment against BBC on the grounds that the tribal court had no jurisdiction to find that there had been an illegal modification of the Contract and that the IGRA created no private right of action for the Tribe to bring against BBC. Colombe also seeks a judgment on the merits finding that BBC did not violate the Contract. Finally, Colombe seeks an injunction against Defendants from continuing any litigation against Colombe that relates to the October 16, 2007 judgment. Defendants have filed a Motion to Dismiss, arguing that this Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over the case, that Defendants have not waived their sovereign immunity, and that Colombe has failed to exhaust his tribal court remedies.
III. DISCUSSION
A. Colombe’s Right to Pursue Claims in the Name of BBC
As a preliminary matter, this Court must determine whether Colombe has standing to assert claims in the name of BBC, a dissolved Minnesota corporation. Minnesota Statute § 302A.783 provides that “[ajfter a corporation has been dissolved, any of its former officers, directors, or shareholders may assert or defend, in the name of the corporation, any claim by or against the corporation.” Minn.Stat. § 302A.783; see also Firstcom, Inc. v. Qwest Corp., No. Civ. 04-995 ADM/AJB, 2004 WL 1402564, at *2 (D.Minn. June 21, 2004) (“The text of [section 302A.783] is clear and unambiguous: former shareholders may assert any claim in the name of the corporation.”). Because BBC was dissolved and Colombe was a shareholder, director, and officer of BBC, he has standing to maintain the present action.
B. Subject Matter Jurisdiction
“Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction.” Myers v. Richland Cnty., 429 F.3d 740, 745 (8th Cir.2005) (citation omitted). Here, no diversity of citizenship exists under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 because Indian tribes are neither foreign states nor citizens of any state, See Gaming World Int'l v. White Earth Band of Chippewa Indians, 317 F.3d 840, 847 (8th Cir.2003). Federal subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 requires the presence of a federal question. 28 U.S.C. § 1331; Oglala Sioux Tribe v. C &W Enter., Inc., 487 F.3d 1129, 1130 (8th Cir.2007) (citing Arbaugh v. Y & H Corp., 546 U.S. 500, 513, 126 S.Ct. 1235, 163 L.Ed.2d 1097 (2006)). Section 1331 provides that “[t]he district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States.” 28 U.S.C. § 1331, Courts generally consider a claim to have arisen under federal law “if a federal cause of action appears on the face [of] a well-pleaded complaint.” Oglala Sioux Tribe, 487 F.3d at 1131 (citing Oklahoma Tax Comm’n v. Graham, 489 U.S. 838, 840-841, 109 S.Ct. 1519, 103 L.Ed.2d 924 (1989)).
Colombe, relying principally on Nat’l Farmers Union Ins. Co. v. Crow Tribe of Indians, 471 U.S. 845, 105 S.Ct. 2447, 85 L.Ed.2d 818 (1985), contends that the Court has jurisdiction under § 1331 because he is asserting that federal law has divested the Tribe of jurisdiction to determine whether the Contract was illegally modified. In Nat’l Farmers Union, a member of an Indian tribe obtained a default judgment against a non-Indian school district in tribal court. Id. at 847-48, 105 [742]*742S.Ct. 2447. The school district and its insurer then filed an action in federal district court seeking to enjoin the tribal member from executing on the default judgment. Id. at 848, 105 S.Ct. 2447. The school district and its insurer contended that “the right which they assert — a right to be protected against an unlawful exercise of Tribal Court judicial power — -has its source in federal law because federal law defines the outer boundaries of an Indian tribe’s power over non-Indians.” Id. at 851, 105 S.Ct. 2447.
The United States Supreme Court in Nat’l Fanners Union found that the district court was correct in concluding that a federal court “may determine under § 1331 whether a tribal court has exceeded the lawful limits of its jurisdiction.” Id. at 853, 105 S.Ct. 2447. The Court explained:
Because petitioners contend that federal law has divested the Tribe of this aspect of [civil jurisdiction], it is federal law on which they rely as a basis for the asserted right of freedom from Tribal Court interference. They have, therefore, filed an action ‘arising under’ federal law within the meaning of § 1331.
Id. at 852-53, 105 S.Ct. 2447.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has applied the principles of Nat'l Farmers Union in a number of cases, two of which are particularly pertinent to the present action. See Gaming World Int'l, 317 F.3d 840; Bruce H. Lien Co. v. Three Affiliated Tribes, 93 F.3d 1412 (8th Cir.1996). The Bruce H. Lien case involved a casino management contract between a company and an Indian tribe, 93 F.3d at 1414. After a disagreement over the management contract arose, the company filed a demand for arbitration. Id. at 1415. The Tribe responded by filing an action in tribal court seeking a declaration that the management contract was void under tribal law and seeking to enjoin the arbitration proceedings until the tribal court had an opportunity to rule on the Tribe’s complaint. Id. at 1415-16. Following a failed attempt to have the tribal court action dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, the company filed suit in federal district court requesting a preliminary injunction to enforce the arbitration proceedings. Id. at 1416. The Tribe moved to dismiss the federal action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, claiming that the Tribe had not waived its sovereign immunity and that the company had failed to exhaust tribal remedies. Id. On appeal, the Eighth Circuit found that the district court had properly exercised federal question jurisdiction over the matter. Id. at 1421. The Court stated:
While the issue of the contract’s validity does not raise a federal question per se, certainly there are aspects of the dispute which do. Particularly where the entire association between the parties (and their various disputes) arise under IGRA, and where the management agreement at issue, once approved, remains so until disapproved by the NIGC. Further, this case is being directed to the Tribal Court and exhaustion within that system. The existence of tribal jurisdiction itself presents a federal question within the scope of 28 U.S.C. § 1331.
Id. (citing Iowa Mut. Ins. Co. v. LaPlante, 480 U.S. 9, 15, 107 S.Ct. 971, 94 L.Ed.2d 10 (1987); Nat’l Farmers Union, 471 U.S. at 852-53, 105 S.Ct. 2447). The Eighth Circuit encountered similar issues in Gaming World. In Gaming World, a Delaware corporation entered into a casino management contract with an Indian tribe. 317 F.3d at 842. Sometime thereafter, the Tribe terminated the contract and filed an action in tribal court seeking a declaration that the contract was void for failure to obtain proper federal approval. Id. at 845-846. The corporation filed a response [743]*743challenging the tribal court’s jurisdiction and denying the Tribe’s allegations. Id. at 846. One month later, the corporation commenced litigation in federal district court seeking a declaratory judgment of the contract’s validity and an order compelling arbitration. Id. The Tribe appeared in federal district court, disputed the validity of the contract, and asserted that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Id. After the district court found that it had jurisdiction under § 1331 and ordered the parties to arbitrate, the Tribe appealed. Id. The Eighth Circuit in Gaming World determined that the corporation’s action arose under federal law because it raised issues concerning the scope of tribal jurisdiction. Id. at 848. The Court compared the jurisdictional facts in Gaming World to those in Bruce H. Lien, and noted that both cases involved federal court challenges to a tribal court’s jurisdiction. Id. “[A]n action filed in order to avoid tribal jurisdiction,” the Court explained, “necessarily asserts federal law.” Id. (citing Nat’l Farmers Union, 471 U.S. at 853, 105 S.Ct. 2447).4
Nat’l Farmers Union and its Eighth Circuit progeny make clear that the interpretation of federal law plays a critical role in the resolution of cases that involve the question of whether a tribal court has overstepped the boundaries of its jurisdiction. Here, the gravamen of Colombe’s complaint is that certain provisions of IGRA and NIGC regulations have divested the Tribe of jurisdiction to determine whether there was an illegal modification of the management contract. Colombe thus has filed an action “arising under” federal law within the meaning of § 1331. See Nat’l Farmers Union, 471 U.S. at 853, 105 S.Ct. 2447; Gaming World, 317 F.3d at 848 (“It is well established that the scope of tribal court jurisdiction is a matter of federal law.”); TTEA v. Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo, 181 F.3d 676, 683 (5th Cir.1999) (court had jurisdiction to determine whether tribal court properly exercised jurisdiction over 25 U.S.C. § 81 claim); Kerr-McGee Corp. v. Farley, 115 F.3d 1498, 1501 (10th Cir.1997) (“The scope of a tribal court’s jurisdiction is a federal question over which federal district courts have jurisdiction.”); Bruce H. Lien, 93 F.3d at 1421-22; Oglala Sioux Tribe v. C &W Enters., 516 F.Supp.2d 1039, 1042 (D.S.D.2007) (“Both National Farmers Union and Bruce Lien recognize that because tribal sovereignty is limited only by federal law, any challenges to the tribal court’s jurisdiction necessarily arises under federal law.”); Canby, supra at 244 (5th ed. 2009) (explaining that as a conse[744]*744quence of National Farmers Union, “anyone asserting an absence of tribal power under federal statute, treaty, or the ‘common law’ of federal Indian law has an entree into federal court.”).
C. Sovereign Immunity
A motion to dismiss on sovereign immunity grounds may be analyzed under Rule 12(b)(1). Hagen v. Sisseton-Wahpeton Cmty. Coll., 205 F.3d 1040, 1043 (8th Cir.2000). However, the question of whether the Tribe’s sovereign immunity bars Colombe from bringing this suit is a jurisdictional issue separate from subject matter jurisdiction. See In re Prairie Island Dakota Sioux, 21 F.3d 302, 305 (8th Cir.1994) (“We find, therefore, that sovereign immunity is a jurisdictional consideration separate from subject matter jurisdiction ... ”); Calvello v. Yankton Sioux Tribe, 899 F.Supp. 431, 435 (D.S.D.1995) (determining first that the court had subject matter jurisdiction and then noting that “[t]he Court must next consider, however, the separate jurisdictional issue of whether [the plaintiffs] suit against the Tribe is barred by the doctrine of sovereign immunity.”).
“Indian tribes have long been recognized as possessing the common-law immunity from suit traditionally enjoyed by sovereign powers.” Amerind Risk Mgmt. Corp. v. Malaterre, 633 F.3d 680, 685 (8th Cir.2011) (quoting Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez, 436 U.S. 49, 58, 98 S.Ct. 1670, 56 L.Ed.2d 106 (1978)). “Thus, as a matter of federal law, an Indian tribe is subject to suit only where Congress has authorized the suit or the tribe has waived its immunity.” Id. (quoting Kiowa Tribe of Okla. v. Mfg. Techs., Inc., 523 U.S. 751, 754, 118 S.Ct. 1700, 140 L.Ed.2d 981 (1998)). “A waiver of sovereign immunity may not be implied, but must be unequivocally expressed by either the Tribe or Congress.” Id. (quoting Rupp v. Omaha Indian Tribe, 45 F.3d 1241, 1244 (8th Cir.1995)).
While a tribe may waive its sovereign immunity by contract, it must do so with the “requisite clarity.” See C & L Enters., Inc. v. Citizen Band of Potawatomi Indian Tribe, 532 U.S. 411, 418, 121 S.Ct. 1589, 149 L.Ed.2d 623 (2001) (“[T]o relinquish its immunity, a tribe’s waiver must be clear.”) (citations omitted). This does not mean, however, that the contract must contain “ ‘magic words’ stating that the tribe hereby waives its sovereign immunity.” Rosebud Sioux Tribe v. Val-U Constr. Co. of S.D., 50 F.3d 560, 563 (8th Cir.1995); Sokaogon Gaming Enter. v. Tushie-Montgomery Associates, 86 F.3d 656, 660 (7th Cir.1996) (explaining that a tribe may waive its sovereign immunity in a contract without actually using the words “sovereign immunity.”); Canby, supra at 110 (“Although the intention to waive must be clear, the waiver need not include the precise term sovereign immunity.”).
In C & L Enterprises, the Supreme Court found that a tribe waived its sovereign immunity by entering into a standard form construction contract that contained a provision requiring arbitration of all claims “arising out of or relating to the Contract” and provided that any arbitration awards could be reduced to judgment in “accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.” C & L Enterprises, 532 U.S. at 418-419, 121 S.Ct. 1589. The Eighth Circuit reached a similar result in Val-U Construction. See Val-U Constr., 50 F.3d at 562 (finding that the following language in a contract was a clear expression of waiver of a tribes sovereign immunity: “All questions of dispute under this Agreement shall be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Construction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.”).
[745]*745Article 21 of the Contract at issue provides in pertinent part:
Should litigation be necessary to enforce the obligations of this agreement, the parties agree that such litigation shall not be brought in the courts of any state. Instead, access to the courts, shall be as follows:
(a) Any litigation relating to a dispute over the terms, rights or obligations set forth in this agreement shall first be initiated in Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court.
(b) The parties agree that in the event of a dispute requiring court intervention, either party may apply to the Tribal Court for appointment of a special judge to preside over any such disputes. The Tribal Court shall immediately appoint such special judge to preside over disputes involving this contract or the management of the project. The special judge must be approved by both parties to this agreement prior to presiding over the case or controversy. The special judge must be law trained, and the parties hereto will share equally in any compensation to be paid to the special judge incurred in the course of his duties on the case.
(c) Should either party request the appointment of a special judge to hear a dispute or settle a controversy, said judge must be agreed upon by both parties and selected and appointed within seven days of the application by either party. The parties may waive or extend the time limit included herein by mutual agreement.
(d) With the use of the special judge as provided herein, the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court shall have initial jurisdiction over all disputes arising with respect to this contract, subject only to those exceptions as set forth in subparts (f) and (g) hereto.
(e) Regular appeals from the decisions of the special judge for the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court shall be taken as provided in the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
(f) The jurisdiction of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court system with respect to disputes related to this contract, shall extend through the Tribal Trial Court and Appellate Court level. Tribal Court remedies must be exhausted before any party may initiate suit in Federal Court (except as set forth herein and in Section (g) below). Once Tribal Court remedies have been exhausted, the jurisdiction of the Tribal Court shall cease, permitting any party to bring suit before the United States Federal District Court, and Tribal Court jurisdiction will terminate for purposes of allowing the Federal Court to entertain a de novo review of the case on its merits. The parties hereto expressly intend that the Federal Court shall not be limited to a review of Tribal Court jurisdiction, but shall hear the case on its underlying merits on a de novo basis. The Federal Court may enter such relief on the merits of the controversy as it deems just and equitable, or as properly requested by either party. Upon adoption and execution of this contract, the provisions of this section shall be considered as an amendment to the tribal judicial code, applying solely to disputes arising under this contract and establishing the jurisdiction of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court as set forth herein with respect to disputes under this contract.
(Doc. 9-1 at 63-65) (emphasis added). The plain language of the Contract contains a waiver of sovereign immunity upon exhaustion of tribal court remedies. Section (f) of Article 21 makes clear that either party to the Contract may bring suit in federal district court to obtain a de novo review of the dispute on its merits, following exhaustion of tribal court remedies. By agreeing to be subject to suit in federal [746]*746district court, a tribe agrees to waive its sovereign immunity. See Sokaogon Gaming Enter., 86 F.3d at 659 (“To agree to be sued is to waive any immunity one might have from being sued.”); Val-U Constr., 50 F.3d at 562 (explaining that by agreeing to the arbitration clause and its provisions for dispute resolution, the tribe clearly intended to waive its sovereign immunity, as “[b]y definition such disputes could not be resolved by arbitration if one party intended to assert sovereign immunity as a defense.”) (citation omitted).
Defendants argue, however, that the waiver of sovereign immunity contained in Article 21 of the Contract is void for failure to comply with section 4-2-1 of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s Law and Order Code. Section 4-2-1 states:
SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY — Except as required by federal law or the Constitution and bylaws of the Tribe or specifically waived by a resolution or ordinance of the Tribal Council making specific reference to su,ch, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and ks/ officers and employees shall be imnMne from suit in any civil action for any liability arising from the performance of their official duties.
(Doc. 13-1). This unequivocal language makes clear that a waiver of sovereign immunity must comport with the requirements of section 4-2-1 to be valid.
In its previous Opinion and Order Regarding Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 21), this Court expressed concern over Colombe’s failure to point to any evidence that the Tribal Council had enacted a resolution or adopted an ordinance that waived the Tribe’s sovereign immunity with respect to the Contract. (Doc. 21 at 14). This Court noted, however, that “Exhibit H” — which was discussed in Article 24.15 of the Contract but not included in any of Colombe’s filings-appeared to be a Tribal resolution establishing that the Tribe waived its sovereign immunity. Because “Exhibit H” was pivotal to determining whether their was a waiver of sovereign immunity, this Court gave Colombe fourteen days to produce it.
Colombe now has filed Tribal Resolution 93-02, which states in pertinent part:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Council in conformity with Tribal Ordinance 87-03 and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act Title 25 USC, PL 100-497, for exclusive purpose of passing the management contract with BBC, Inc. allows a limited waiver of Sovereign Immunity pursuant to its Corporate Charter ...
(Doc. 27-1). This language makes clear that the Tribe did, in fact, adopt a resolution waiving its sovereign immunity with respect to the Contract. Accordingly, the waiver of sovereign immunity contained in Article 21(f) of the Contract is valid and does not violate section 4-2-1 of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s Law and Order Code.5
The limited waiver of sovereign immunity contained in Article 21 does not necessarily grant the Court authority to exercise jurisdiction over the entirety of Colombe’s complaint, however. When a tribe waives its sovereign immunity, it “may prescribe the terms and conditions on which it consents to be sued, and the manner in which the suit shall be conducted.” Mo. River Serv., Inc. v. Omaha Tribe of Neb., 267 F.3d 848, 854 (8th Cir.2001) (citation omitted); Oglala Sioux Tribe v. C & W Enter., 542 F.3d 224, 231 (8th Cir.2008) (“A sovereign tribe has full authority to limit any waiver of immunity to which it consents.”). Here, the Tribe limited its waiver of immunity by requiring [747]*747that BBC exhaust its remedies in the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court before initiating an action in federal court. (Doc. 9-1 at 63-65). Even if this requirement had not been part of the Contract, BBC, and thus in turn Colombe in this case, still would be required to exhaust his tribal court remedies.
As part of its steadfast effort to foster tribal self-government, Congress has “consistently encouraged” the development of tribal courts, Iowa Mutual Ins. Co., 480 U.S. at 14-15, 107 S.Ct. 971; National Farmers, 471 U.S. at 856, 105 S.Ct. 2447. In deference to this commitment, both the Supreme Court and the Eighth Circuit have required exhaustion of tribal court remedies in matters related to reservation affairs. Iowa Mutual Ins. Co., 480 U.S. at 16, 107 S.Ct. 971 (“[T]he federal policy supporting tribal self-government directs a federal court to stay its hand in order to give the tribal court a full opportunity to determine its own jurisdiction”) (citations and internal marks omitted); Bruce Lien, 93 F.3d at 1420 (“Supreme Court precedent and this court’s pronouncements based thereon require exhaustion of tribal court remedies in matters related to reservation affairs.”) (citation omitted). By requiring parties to exhaust their tribal court remedies before seeking relief in federal court, the tribal exhaustion rule allows tribal courts to assert authority over reservation affairs without having to “compete” against federal courts for the right to do so.6 See Iowa Mutual Insurance Co., 480 U.S. at 16, 107 S.Ct. 971 (“[Unconditional access to the federal forum would place [federal courts] in direct competition with the tribal courts, thereby impairing the latter’s authority over reservation affairs.”); Duncan Energy Co. v. Three Affiliated Tribes, 27 F.3d 1294, 1299 (8th Cir.1994) (“Because a federal court’s exercise of jurisdiction over matters relating to reservation affairs can impair the authority of tribal courts ... the examination of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction should be conducted in the first instance by the tribal court itself.”) (citing National Farmers, 471 U.S. at 856, 105 S.Ct. 2447). The exhaustion of tribal court remedies is a comity-based rule arising out of a mutual respect between two sovereigns rather than a jurisdictional prerequisite. See Iowa Mutual Ins. Co., 480 U.S. at 16 n. 8, 107 S.Ct. 971 (“Exhaustion is required as a matter of comity, not as a jurisdictional prerequisite.”); see also Smith v. Moffett, 947 F.2d 442, 445 (10th Cir.1991). In addition to promoting tribal self-government and self-determination, the tribal exhaustion rule encourages the “orderly administration of justice” and provides, federal courts with the unique expertise of tribal courts in matters relating to tribal court jurisdiction. National Farmers, 471 U.S. at 856, 105 S.Ct. 2447. Because the instant case concerns the Tribe and the operation of a tribally owned casino located within the exterior boundaries of the Rosebud Sioux Reservation, exhaustion of tribal court remedies is “especially appropriate.” Bruce Lien, 93 F.3d at 1420.
Colombe rightly does not dispute that BBC had to exhaust its tribal court remedies. Instead, he argues that BBC has fulfilled this requirement. A careful review of the tribal court proceedings reveals that BBC has exhausted its tribal [748]*748court remedies only as to the limited issue of the tribal court’s jurisdiction to find an illegal modification of the contract. When the Tribe appealed Judge Jones’s first decision to the Rosebud Supreme Court, BBC argued that IGRA did not create a private cause of action and, reading the brief generously to BBC, that jurisdiction to determine the legality of the Contract modification rests with the NIGC rather than tribal courts. (Doc. 9-3 at 11-18). BBC raised its jurisdictional argument more clearly in its Optional Brief on Rehearing.7 (Doc. 9-5). The Rosebud Supreme Court had the opportunity to determine whether it had jurisdiction to determine whether the Contract had been illegally modified, thereby giving the Court “the first opportunity to evaluate the factual and legal bases for the challenge” to its jurisdiction. National Farmers, 471 U.S. at 856, 105 S.Ct. 2447. Although the Rosebud Supreme Court never specifically addressed BBC’s jurisdictional claims, the Court nevertheless made an implicit ruling on the issue when it exercised its jurisdiction to find that the Contract had been modified and that the modification was void for failure to obtain NIGC approval. (Doc. 9-4 at 7).
The Rosebud Supreme Court did not have an opportunity to rule on any issues relating to Judge Jones’s second decision, however. Complete exhaustion of tribal court remedies requires review by tribal appellate courts. See Iowa Mutual Ins. Co., 480 U.S. at 16-17, 107 S.Ct. 971 (“The federal policy of promoting tribal self-government encompasses the development of the entire tribal court system, including tribal appellate courts. At a minimum, exhaustion of tribal remedies means that tribal appellate courts must have the opportunity to review the determinations of lower tribal courts.”). The terms of the management contract required the parties to seek review at the tribal appellate court level before commencing litigation in federal court. Here, BBC never appealed Judge Jones’s October 16, 2007 decision granting the Tribe a judgment against BBC. (Doc. 9-7),
Colombe contends that BBC should be excused for its failure to appeal Judge Jones’s second decision because BBC lacked the funds necessary to comply with Rule 2 of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court Rules of Appellate Procedure. Rule 2 of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court Rules of Appellate Procedure provides in pertinent part:
Upon the filing of the Notice of Appeal, the Appellant shall also be required to post an appellate bond. In civil matters, bond shall be set at $50.00, plus the Appellant shall be required to file a statement of financial responsibility equal to the amount of the Judgment in Tribal Court. If the Appellant is unable to file the required financial statement, they shall be required to post cash or other sureties equal to the amount of the Tribal Court judgment.
(Doc. 13-3). The terms of the management contract undermine Colombe’s argument. Article 21(e) of the management contract states that “[r]egular appeals from the decision of the special judge for the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court shall be taken as provided in the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Rules of Appellate Procedure.” (Doc. 9-1 at 64). Colombe agreed to be bound by the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court [749]*749Rules of Appellate Procedure. To allow Colombe to come to federal court and assert claims relating to Judge Jones’s second decision would frustrate the federal policy of encouraging tribal self-government, would encroach upon the Tribe’s sovereignty, and would disregard the terms of the contract. Both comity principles and the terms of the management contract dictate that Colombe’s claims concerning the October 16, 2007 judgment be dismissed.8
Therefore, it is
ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 5) is granted in part to the extent that Colombe’s claims concerning the October 16, 2007 judgment are dismissed. It is further
ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 5) is otherwise denied.
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO RECONSIDER AND MOTION FOR TRIAL ON PERMANENT INJUNCTION
This Court issued an Opinion and Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 33) on September 23, 2011. Since then, Plaintiff Charles Colombe (“Colombe”) has filed a Motion for Reconsideration (Doc. 34) and a Motion for Trial on Permanent Injunction Against Defendants Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court and Judge Sherman Marshall (Doc. 37). Defendants Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court, and Judge Sherman Marshall (collectively “Defendants”) have filed responses (Doc. 36; Doc. 38) opposing both of Colombe’s motions. For the reasons explained below, this Court denies Colombe’s Motion for Reconsideration and Motion for Trial on Permanent Injunction Against Defendants Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court and Judge Sherman Marshall.
II. FACTS PERTINENT TO COLOMBE’S MOTIONS
This case involves a contract dispute between BBC Entertainment, Inc. (“BBC”) and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe (“Tribe”).1 In June of 1994, the Tribe and BBC entered into a five-year casino management contract under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, 25 U.S.C. § 2701 et. seq. (“IGRA”). After the contract concluded, the Tribe sued BBC in tribal court alleging that BBC had illegally withdrawn funds from an “Operation Expense Reserve Account.” The tribal court litigation lasted several years and resulted in an October 16, 2007 judgment against BBC. BBC did not appeal the judgment to the Supreme Court of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
On February 17, 2009, the Tribe filed a tribal court complaint against BBC and two of its owners, Wayne Boyd and Charles Colombe. The complaint sought to pierce BBC’s corporate veil and to hold Boyd and Colombe personally liable for the October 16, 2007 judgment against BBC. Colombe filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Tribal Judge Sherman Marshall denied Colombe’s motion to dismiss. Colombe then filed a complaint in federal district court seeking de novo review of the October 16, 2007 judgment and [750]*750an injunction prohibiting Defendants from continuing the tribal court action to pierce BBC’s corporate veil. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. (Doc. 5). In a September 23, 2011 Opinion and Order (Doc. 33), this Court dismissed Colombe’s claims concerning the October 16, 2007 tribal court judgment because BBC never appealed the decision and therefore had failed to exhaust tribal court remedies. This Court now considers in turn Colombe’s two pending motions — the motion to reconsider dismissal of Colombe’s claims relating to the October 16, 2007 judgment, and the Motion for Trial on Permanent Injunction to prohibit the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court from asserting jurisdiction over Colombe.
A. Motion for Reconsideration
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not “recognize or otherwise provide for a ‘Motion to Reconsider.’ ” Grozdanich v. Leisure Hills Health Ctr., Inc., 48 F.Supp.2d 885, 887 (D.Minn.1999); see also Broadway v. Norris, 193 F.3d 987, 989 (8th Cir.1999) (“The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not mention motions for reconsideration.”). When, as in the present case, the moving party fails to identify a provision within the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure upon which the party bases its motion to reconsider, the party “leaves the characterization of the motion to the court’s somewhat unenlightened guess ...” Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 168 (8th Cir.1988). This Court’s September 23, 2011 Opinion and Order was not a final order or judgment, because the order only granted in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss. Accordingly, this Court will address Colombe’s motion for reconsideration under Rule 54(b). See Stewart v. Ryan, No. CV 10- ‘ 1110-PHX-MHM, 2010 WL 2991559, at *1 (D.Ariz. July 27, 2010) (addressing the plaintiffs motion to reconsider under Rule 54(b) where court had dismissed some, but not all of plaintiffs claims); Doctor John’s, Inc. v. City of Sioux City, IA, 438 F.Supp.2d 1005, 1027 (N.D.Iowa 2006) (finding that Rule 54(b) provides authority for a court to reconsider any interlocutory order, including a prior ruling on a motion for summary judgment).
Rule 54(b) provides, in pertinent part, that “any order or other decision, however designated, that adjudicates fewer than all the claims or the rights and liabilities of fewer than all the parties ... may be revised at any time before the entry of a judgment adjudicating all the claims and all the parties’ rights and liabilities.” Although the standard applicable to a motion to reconsider under Rule 54(b) is unclear, courts typically find it “to be less exacting than would be a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e), which is in turn less exacting than the standards enunciated in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b).” Allstate Ins. Co. v. Weber, No. 1:05CV00039, 2007 WL 1427598, at *2 (E.D.Ark. May 11, 2007) (quotation omitted). “It is generally held that a court may amend or reconsider any ruling under Rule 54(b) to correct any clearly or manifestly erroneous findings of facts or conclusions of law.” Jones v. Casey’s General Stores, 551 F.Supp.2d 848, 854 (S.D.Iowa 2008) (citation omitted). A motion to reconsider under Rule 54(b), however, may not “serve as a vehicle to identify facts or raise legal arguments which could have been, but were not, raised or adduced during the pendency of the motion of which reconsideration was sought.” Grozdanich, 48 F.Supp.2d at 888 (citation omitted); see also Hagerman v. Yukon Energy Corp., 839 F.2d 407, 414 (8th Cir.1988) (“Motions for reconsideration serve a limited function: to correct manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence ... a motion for reconsideration [should not] serve as [751]*751the occasion to tender new legal theories for the first time.”) (citation omitted).
Here, Colombe asks this Court to reconsider its decision that BBC failed to exhaust its tribal court remedies with respect to the October 16, 2007 judgment. Colombe contends that BBC’s failure to appeal the October 16, 2007 judgment should be excused because the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Supreme Court lacked authority under the Tribe’s constitution to hear BBC’s appeal. In support of this argument, Colombe has filed an affidavit in which he asserts that the Tribe has failed to comply with an amendment to the Tribe’s constitution that, in Colombe’s view, required the Tribe to implement a new tribal court system and rules of appellate procedure by September 20, 2007. Colombe makes no attempt to justify his failure to raise this legal argument in his brief opposing Defendants’ motion to dismiss.2 Nor does Colombe explain why he waited until now to file an affidavit concerning his interpretation of an amendment to the Tribe’s constitution.
Even assuming that there is a basis to reconsider the Court’s previous ruling that BBC failed to exhaust its tribal court remedies, Colombe is not entitled to relief. The terms of the management contract required that BBC seek review of the October 16, 2007 judgment at the tribal appellate level before commencing litigation in federal court. See Colombe v. Rosebud Sioux Tribe, No. Civ 11-3002, 835 F.Supp.2d 736, 747-49, 2011 WL 4458795, at *9-10 (D.S.D. Sept. 23, 2011). Colombe’s doubts about the legitimacy of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Supreme Court does not excuse BBC’s failure to appeal the October 16, 2007 judgment; at all times throughout 2007 to the present day, the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Supreme Court was accepting appeals, issuing opinions, and acting as a fully functional appellate court. (Doc. 36-1). Accordingly, the Court denies Colombe’s motion to reconsider.
B. Motion For Trial on Permanent Injunction
Colombe has filed a motion asking this Court to set a trial date on Colombe’s request for a permanent injunction prohibiting Defendants Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court and Judge Sherman Marshall from asserting jurisdiction over Colombe in the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court. The basis for Colombe’s request for a permanent injunction is similar to the basis for his motion to reconsider. Colombe contends that an amendment to the Tribe’s constitution required the Tribe to implement a new tribal court system and rules of appellate procedure and that the Tribe’s failure to do so divested the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court of authority to exercise jurisdiction over Colombe in the pending tribal court action to pierce BBC’s corporate veil.
Defendants argue that the Court should deny Colombe’s motion for a trial on his request for a permanent injunction because Colombe failed to exhaust his tribal court remedies. The terms of the management contract3 required BBC to ad[752]*752dress issues of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court’s jurisdiction over BBC at the tribal appellate level before raising those issues in federal court. Colombe, 835 F.Supp.2d at 747-49, 2011 WL 4458795, at *9-10. Principles of comity support requiring Colombe as well to exhaust tribal court remedies, including appeal to the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Supreme Court, before this Court is expected to rule on a question concerning the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Constitution. See Iowa Mut. Ins. Co. v. La-Plante, 480 U.S. 9, 17, 107 S.Ct. 971, 94 L.Ed.2d 10 (1987) (“At a minimum, exhaustion of tribal remedies means that tribal appellate courts must have the opportunity to review the determinations of lower tribal courts.”); Duncan Energy Co. v. Three Affiliated Tribes, 27 F.3d 1294, 1299 (8th Cir.1994) (“Because a federal court’s exercise of jurisdiction over matters relating to reservation affairs can impair the authority of tribal courts ... the examination of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction should be conducted in the first instance by the tribal court itself.”). Generally, questions regarding interpretation of tribal constitutions and amendments thereto are for tribal, and not federal, courts to resolve. See In re Sac & Fox Tribe of Mississippi in Iowa/Meskwaki Casino Litig., 340 F.3d 749, 763-64 (8th Cir.2003) (“Jurisdiction to resolve internal tribal disputes, interpret tribal constitutions and laws, and issue tribal membership determinations lies with Indian tribes and not in the district courts.”); Runs After v. United States, 766 F.2d 347, 352 (8th Cir.1985) (holding that the district court lacked jurisdiction to resolve “disputes involving questions of interpretation of the tribal constitution and tribal law.”).
The first time Colombe raised the argument that the Tribe’s failure to comply with an amendment to its constitution divested tribal courts of jurisdiction over him was in a March 24, 2009 motion to dismiss the tribal court action to pierce BBC’s corporate veil. (Doc. 5-10). On April 26, 2010, Judge Sherman Marshall issued an order denying Colombe’s motion to dismiss. (Doc. 5-25). On May 3, 2010, Colombe filed a “motion for interlocutory appeals” of Judge Marshall’s April 26, 2010 order. (Doc. 32-1). In this motion, Colombe once again raised his argument concerning the Tribe’s failure to comply with a constitutional amendment.4 (Id.). The Rosebud Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that the decision concerning whether or not to grant an interlocutory appeal rests with the tribal trial court judge. (Doc. 32-3).5 Under these rules, Judge Marshall denied Colombe’s request for an interlocutory appeal in a June 30, 2010 order. (Doc. 32-2). To date, the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Supreme Court has not had an opportunity to address Colombe’s claim that the Tribe’s failure to comply with an amendment to its constitution divested the Tribe of jurisdiction over Colombe. This Court recognizes that Colombe’s effort to have that issue addressed on an interlocutory appeal to the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court has been unsuccessful, but Colombe retains the ability to appeal to the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Supreme Court on the tribal constitutional issue if [753]*753Judge Marshall’s ultimate ruling is unfavorable to Colombe. Colombe has not exhausted his tribal court remedies on this issue. Therefore, this Court denies his motion for a trial on his request for a permanent injunction. See Elliott v. White Mountain Apache Tribal Court, 566 F.3d 842, 847 (9th Cir.2009) (rejecting plaintiffs argument that she had exhausted tribal court remedies by filing an interlocutory appeal to tribal appellate court where tribal appellate court had held that rules of tribal civil procedure prevented it from considering plaintiffs interlocutory appeal).
III. CONCLUSION
For the reasons stated above, it is hereby
ORDERED that Colombe’s Motion for Reconsideration (Doc. 34) is denied. It is further
ORDERED that Colombe’s Motion for Trial on Permanent Injunction Against Defendants Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court and Judge Sherman Marshall (Doc. 37) is denied.
