CHAPTER 38 - DOMESTIC ABUSE

Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to recognize domestic abuse as a serious crime against our society and to assure the victim of domestic abuse the maximum protection from abuse which the law and those who enforce the law can provide.

It is the intent of the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Council that the official response to cases of domestic abuse shall be that violent behavior is not to be excused or tolerated, whether or not the abuser is intoxicated. Furthermore, it is the intent of the Tribal Council that criminal laws be enforced without regard to whether the persons involved are family members, were or are married, cohabiting, or involved in a relationship. It is also the intent of the Tribal Council that the Elders of this tribe cherished and protected according to the traditions of the tribe.
