OPINION

PICKARD, J.

{1} In this case, we determine whether limited waivers of tribal sovereign immunity in a commercial lease and in a pueblo's gaming compact with the State are applicable to a suit based in contract and tort brought by a lessee of property located on tribal lands. Holding the waivers inapplicable, we affirm the trial court's grant of Defendants' motion to dismiss.
