DOYLE, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur with the majority opinion holding that this action should be remanded to the trial court, and I agree with the general statement that a void judgment is subject to attack at any time.
Upon the record it is a fair assumption that the transaction, which is the basis of this action, took place in Fall River County, South Dakota, which is not a part of any Indian reservation and *571would not be considered “Indian country.” In my judgment this action is within the purview of SDCL 15-7. I find nothing in either Williams v. Lee, 358 U.S. 217, 79 S.Ct. 269, 3 L.Ed.2d 251, or Smith v. Temple, 82 S.D. 650, 152 N.W.2d 547, that would foreclose the courts of this state from assuming jurisdiction in this action.
