I work for an indian casino in Oklahoma. I have been on intermittant FMLA for the last 2 years. Last year, I changed positions and started in a salaried position. On my annual evalution for this year, I was given the minimum pay raise allowed. There were several comments pertaining to my attendance. I have missed work that was non-FMLA, but the majority was FMLA. By the comments that were on there, it was obvious that it was referring to my FMLA. I contacted my supervisor and HR, so far it has been nothing but a nightmare. They can not give me the dates and hours that I used FMLA, so I can compare to those I have documented. On top of all this, I have been getting correvtive notices over matters that were "miscommunicated", not by me, but by other departments and management. If I were to pursue this, would it be in their tribal court or would it be in Federal court?

If the casino is on tribal lands, tribal law takes precedence over Federal law, including FMLA. You need to talk to an attorney who is versed in tribal law.
