Pursuant to this inherent sovereign authority, the Tribal Governing Board hereby establishes the Agricultural Division of the Lac Courte Oreilles Conservation Department as a governmental instrumentality of the Tribe, and enacts this ordinance which shall establish the purposes, powers and duties of the same.
