The Supreme Court has agreed to consider limiting a recent decision about Indian land in Oklahoma that the state says has produced chaos in its courts.

FILE - An American flag waves in front of the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill in Washington, Nov. 2, 2020.

The justices said they would take up a question to clarify whether the state can prosecute non-Native Americans for crimes committed against Natives in a large portion of eastern Oklahoma that the high court ruled in 2020 remains a tribal reservation.But the justices did not agree to the state's request that the court consider overruling the 2020 decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma altogether.

As a result of the McGirt ruling, Oklahoma lost the authority to prosecute Native Americans for crimes committed in parts of Oklahoma that include most of Tulsa, the state’s second-largest city.
