The second ordinance is the Pow-wow Committee Ordinance origi nally adopted on March 17, 1993. Under the General Committee Ordinance section (0 MEMBERSHIP: Only tribal mem bers and staff may serve as voting members on the committees. All committee mem bers must physically reside within the tribal Six (6) County Service Area during their term of office.

Since the membership of the Pow-wow committee is appointed by Tribal Council on an annual basis, this would be the perfect time to correct any non-compliance issues.
