Becerra v. San Carlos Apache Tribe Summary

Alright—imagine you and your tribe run a massive Minecraft health clinic on your own server.

You used to rely on the main realm’s hospital (the Indian Health Service), but now you’ve built

your own with emeralds, villagers, and healing potions. You still get resources from the realm,

but you also earn some on your own—maybe players pay emeralds or donate enchanted apples for treatment.

That’s your version of insurance payments. Here’s the problem: every time you collect those outside resources,

you spend extra time and emeralds managing them—keeping logs, hiring clerics,

running spreadsheets. Those are your admin or support costs. But the realm’s big mod—Becerra—says:

“We’ll only cover admin costs tied to the realm’s funds, not the ones from your own earnings.”
