EXECUTIVE ORDER
 In consideration of concerns expressed by tribal members and my own assessment of the probability of serious incidents, I hereby order and declare that, effective immediately, animals of any kind including pets, livestock and any others will no longer be allowed inside the tribal office complex or the kitchen building at any time.
However, in certain situations when an individual wishes to attend a tribal function and is so severely disabled as to require the constant assistance of an officially certified service animal, an exception to this ban may be allowed upon approval by the Principal Chief with the concurrence of the Chief Elder.
This ban is limited to the tribal buildings and does not include the tribal grounds. However, any animals on the grounds must be restrained by leash, tether, cage, pen or other means at all times. Free roaming animals on the tribal grounds will be subject to impoundment.
Ordered and declared this ___23rd__ day of August, 2022
