Charge Native Americans in hearing? (3)
I believe the answer is:
sue
'charge' is the definition.
(as in suing somebody in court)
'native americans in hearing?' is the wordplay.
'native americans' becomes 'sioux' (the Sioux are a Native American people).
'in hearing?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'in hearing' mean this).
'sioux' is a homophone of 'SUE'.
(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Make a case against" , "Make a legal claim" , "Seek damages" , "Charge" , "Proceed legally against (someone)" .)
