Rosebud Sioux Pass Three
New Law and Order Codes
ROSEBUD—Three new law and
order codes were to go into full
effect recently on the Rosebud
Sioux Reservation.
The codes, passed by the Tri
bal Council here last July, have
been approved by the Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs. They in
clude the highway traffic, juvenile
and dog ordinances.
Superintendent Harold Schunk
said he will give the BIA-Indian
police full authority to enforce the
provisions ofthenewcodes. Mean
while, Cato Valandra, tribal presi
dent, emphasized that the codes
are amendments to the complete
Tribal Code.
The Tribal Council, acting un
der its Constitution and By-Laws,
passed the codes on July 12 after
several months of investigation
and debate on the subject matter of
the ordinances. They apply to
territory within the Rosebud Re
servation. t
Approval of the highway traffic
code gave the BIA-tribal police
jurisdiction on highways within In
dian territory.

South Dakota ruled that the state
has no civil or criminal juris
diction over highways within Indian
territory on the Sioux reserva
tions.
An appeal has been made to
the Supreme Court of South Dakota
and as of today, no decision has
been handed down.
The approval of assumption of
jurisdiction by the Rosebud Sioux
Tribe came in the form of a letter
from John O. Crow, acting Com
missioner of Indian Affairs. He
said that the traffic code had been
reviewed and ‘‘no reason prompts
us to recommend its rescission by
the Secretary of the Interior.’'
This meant that the code, as
passed by the Tribal Council,
went into full force and Indian traf
fic violaters would be charged
under specific counts at tribal
court in Rosebud. The court has
no jurisdiction over non-Indians.
The juvenile code pertains to
the treatment of anyone under 18
years of age in tribal court, if
he is an Indian. The dog ordinance
provided procedures for handling
dogs and Indian dog owners.
