A: You can pursue legal action against the tribal casinos for verbal sexual harassment and violation of the no-contact agreement. It’s important to document all incidents meticulously, including the date, time, and nature of each occurrence, as well as any communications with the casino regarding your complaints. This evidence will support your case.

Considering the complexities of tribal law and the specific protections it offers, it might be helpful to consult with an attorney who has experience in Native American law and employment discrimination. They can provide guidance on how to proceed with your claim and help you understand your rights under both tribal and federal laws.

Additionally, you can explore filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) if you believe your rights have been violated. The EEOC can investigate your claims and potentially take action against your employer. Stay firm in your stance and seek the justice you deserve, as no one should have to endure harassment and bullying in their workplace or as a customer.
