CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT ON

VETO OF CLB NO. 10-07

Protecting Big Horn sheep and other big game animals on the Crow Reservation, and

developing improved conservation and management policies, are priorities of us all. In

fact, I have directed personnel to enforce a moratorium on big game hunting on the

Reservation pending the development of a revised Fish and Game Code.

Despite support for the central purpose of CLB 10-07, however, I am forced to veto the

legislation. My primary concerns are with the penalties provisions of the bill. Section 4

provides for (a) criminal penalties of up to one (1) year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine for

Indians violating Section 1 of the Act, and (b) civil restitution and exclusion from the

restricted lands of the Crow Tribe for one (1) year for non-Indians. This double standard

appears to have been drafted due to jurisdictional technicalities, and it may not represent

the intention of the bill's sponsors. Certainly such a provision should not become part of

the Crow Law and Order Code without extensive public meetings and input.

As Chairman of the Crow Tribe, I cannot support a bill criminalizing behavior for tribal

members that would result in a slap on the wrist for non-Indians for the same behavior. It

would be more appropriate to make all of the penalties civil penalties. It is particularly

troubling to contrast Section 5, protecting Crow Indian treaty rights outside of the

Reservation and the Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area, with a bill that could

subject Crow Indians (but not non-Indians) to criminal records and jail time for hunting

on the Reservation. To protect our resources and the rights of our members, it may be

(and currently is) necessary to limit hunting. However, the criminal penalties applicable

only to Indians are unnecessary and unacceptable.

Among other consequences, this bill would create a new felony for which Crow tribal

members if convicted would be ineligible to ever serve in the three branches of Crow

tribal government. Such a dramatic proposed change in Crow law requires extensive

analysis in order to minimize unintended consequences.

Besides my serious concern for the criminal provisions ofCLB 10-07, I find that much of

Sections 2 and 3 consists of political directives to the Executive Branch that are

inappropriate as a matter of policy and separation of powers, and in our view,

unconstitutional. In part, CLB 10-07 incorporates requirements relating to applying for

and budgeting outside grant funds which are now before the Crow Tribal Court for

decision on whether or not they conflict with the Crow Constitution.

In addition,

directives to Executive Branch Officials and departments on how our Branch would

implement the Act are an improper intrusion into internal Branch decisions within our

enumerated powers in the Constitution.

For these reasons, I must, regrettably, veto the current bill.

DATED this q~day

of November 2010.

Cedric Black Eagle, Chairman

Crow Tribal Executive Branch

October 2010 Regular Session of the Crow Tribal Legislature

CLB No. 10-07

Co-Introduced by Senator Patrick Alden, Senator Vincent Crooked Arm, and Senator

WHEREAS, the Crow Tribal Government does not currently have adequate protections

as a matter of law or policy for big horn sheep or their habitat; and

Any violation of this Section shall be punished in accordance with Section 4 of this

Act and any other applicable tribal law.
