PHS.3.3.070 Appeals

Any nonmember to whom an Order for Exclusion and Removal has been issued pursuant to this ordinance may appeal such Order to the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians Tribal Governing Board. The nonmember must apply to the Tribal Governing Board in writing within ten (10) days of his or her receipt of said order, requesting revocation or amendment of said Order. Upon receipt of such a request, the Tribal Governing Board shall call a special meeting for the purpose of allowing the nonmember to address the Tribal Governing Board regarding the reasons for constituting the justifiable cause for his or her exclusion and removal and to show cause why he or she should not be excluded and removed from the Reservation. Unless the Tribal Governing Board has specifically granted the nonmember the right to personally appear before it in the special meeting, the nonmember must set forth his or her position, arguments and proofs in writing and provide same to the Tribal Governing Board in advance of the special meeting. Appropriate notice of such a special meeting shall be delivered to the nonmember not less than five (5) days prior to the meeting. Decisions of the Tribal Governing Board on appeal shall be final.
