"The Spirit Tribal
Council finds that employment discrimination against Indians persists to
some extent on the Reservation despite a large number of Indian and
non-Indian owned businesses employing skilled and non-skilled workers
inside the Reservation. The Tribal Council further finds that jobs in
private employment on or near the Reservation are an important resource to
which member of the Spirit Lake Tribe and other Indians living on or near
the Reservation have unique employment rights. The Council also finds that
it has a duty to guarantee and implement these unique employment rights by
creating employment, business, and training opportunities. It is also the
Council's responsibility to monitor Indian preference along with
collecting from those doing business on the Spirit Lake Reservation a fair
fee for that privilege. Thus, the council has enacted and hereby amends an
employment rights law which establishes an Employment Rights Program and
Employment Rights Commission to achieve its goals and policies." - taken
from Spirit Lake Law & Order Code, Title 15: Employment Rights, Sec.
15-1-102. |
