NON-MEMBER CAMPING

4-25-700 Findings; Purpose

(a)The Colville Business Council hereby finds: that the tribal

trust lands of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville

Reservation (as well as other tribally owned or managed

lands) contain many areas suitable and desirable for camping

and related recreational activities, whether or not established

campgrounds may exist; that these areas are attractive to

non-members of the Tribes as well as tribal members; that

tribal members are entitled to expect a priority in the

opportunity to use these areas due to their ancestral and

aboriginal ties to the lands of the Reservation; and that in

many cases non-member use of these camping areas has

resulted in crowded conditions and environmental

degradation that conflict with enjoyment and use of these

areas by tribal members.

(b)Consistent with the legislative intent set forth in this

Chapter, the purpose of this subchapter is to establish policies

and procedures to regulate and restrict non-member camping

activities on tribal trust lands and on other lands within the

Reservation owned or managed by the Tribes, in order to

to protect the rights of tribal members to use and enjoy tribal

lands, to prevent degradation of land and natural resources,

and to defray the cost of such regulation.

4-25-701 Closure; Permit Regulations; Public Notice

(a)Consistent with the policy previously established by the

Colville Business Council, all tribal trust and fee lands of the

Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (whether

located within or outside the exterior boundaries of the

Reservation) are closed to camping by non-members of the

Tribes except to the extent, and under such conditions, as

they may be opened pursuant to regulation adopted by the

Colville Business Council in accordance with this Chapter.

(b)Such regulations may identify specified areas to be opened

to non-members camping, may provide that non-members

must obtain a tribal camping permit to be maintained in their

possession while camping, and may authorize the assessment

of fees and other conditions as appropriate. Such regulations

shall be reviewed on an annual basis, but shall remain in

effect until modified or repealed by the Colville Business

Council as provided by this Chapter

https://colville.nagfa.net/online to purchase permits/passes

(c)Camping areas subject to closure or conditions shall be

posted and identified in an efficient and reasonable manner,

and the posting shall include a listing of camping rules based

on the requirements of this subchapter and regulations and

other applicable tribal law.

(d)Due to the high rate of vandalism involving signs and

posting of notices on the Reservation, it is incumbent upon

individuals seeking to recreate on Reservation lands to

contact the Natural Resources Department to ascertain

closures and restrictions on the use and enjoyment of tribal
