Statutes | Fond Du Lac Band, Ord. # 04/07 Chapter ยง 102 | 2019
a. Findings. The Reservation Business Committee finds that:
1. The problem of domestic violence and stalking on the Fond du Lac Reservation has a serious impact on the ability of the Band to provide for the health and well-being of its members and threatens the political integrity of the Band because of its detrimental effect upon victims and their families to function in our community.
2. The federal Violence Against Women Act, 18 U. S. C. § 2265, requires state and tribal courts to honor protection orders entered by the courts of other jurisdictions.
b. Purpose. It is accordingly the purpose of this Ordinance to ensure that domestic violence protection orders issued by other jurisdictions, including tribal and state courts, be honored and enforced by the Fond du Lac Band through its law enforcement officers and Tribal Court, to the extent that such enforcement does not undermine other rights vested to Band members under federal and tribal law.
