Alleging that she is entitled to but has been denied membership and the benefits of membership in the defendant corporation, plaintiff seeks to adjudicate her claims through complaint lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. 151 F.Supp. 476. Named as defendants are the Southern Ute Tribe of the Southern Ute Reservation, a federal corporation organized and chartered in accordance with 25 U.S.C.A. § 476, and the individuals comprising the governing body or Council of the corporate defendant. The action was dismissed by the trial court as not involving a substantial federal question under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1331. There being no contention that jurisdiction otherwise exists, the single question is presented on appeal: Does plaintiffs complaint state a claim arising under and so requiring the interpretation or construction of the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States?
