Tribal Code # 34 Personal Protection Orders and Injunctions

The purpose of a personal protection order is to ensure the safety and protection of all persons from violence, threats of violence and/or harassment, to ensure the right of the public to a safe and secure community, to protect the community from the effects of violent and harassing acts, and to ensure that whenever an offense of violence or harassment occurs, including domestic abuse, the offender incurs an obligation to the community. Although this Code provides for specific remedies to prevent acts of domestic abuse, this code shall not be limited to protect only victims of domestic abuse, but shall also be interpreted to give effect to the protection of all victims of violence and abuse. This Code shall be interpreted and followed to give effect to these purposes.
