TITLE 1


ORDINANCE NO: 6147001 - AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING CHEYENNE-ARAPAHO TRIBAL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS


BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BUSINESS COMMITTEE OF THE CHEYENNE-ARAPAHO TRIBES OF OKLAHOMA THAT THIS ORDINANCE REQUIRES PREFERENTIAL EMPLOYMENT OF INDIANS BY NON-GOVERNMENT EMPLOYERS OPERATING WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CHEYENNE-ARAPAHO (TRIBAL LANDS) RESERVATION.


SECTION 1: TITLE

This Ordinance shall be cited as the "Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance".


SECTION 2: FINDINGS

The Cheyenne-Arapaho Business Committee finds as follows:

(a) The Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma has the inherent sovereign power to form its government, administer its own land, and regulate the use of land within the Cheyenne-Arapaho Indian Reservation.

(b) The Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma is a federally recognized Tribe with a Constitution and By-Laws approved by the Secretary of the Interior;

(c) The Cheyenne-Arapaho Business Committee is the duly elected representative body of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma empowered to act in the responsibilities outlined in Article IV, Section 2 through 5.

(d) The Cheyenne-Arapaho Business Committee deems it essential to the orderly management, control and enforcement of Tribal Employment Rights to adopt and implement this Ordinance.


SECTION 3: PURPOSE

(a) The purpose of this Ordinance is to assist in and require the fair employment of Indians and to prevent discrimination against Indians in the employment practices of employers who are doing business with the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma on tribal lands.

(b) Employment and Training:

(1) The Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes believe that it is important to create employment and training opportunities for the Cheyenne-Arapaho and other Indians An integral part of attaining this goal is by structuring employment and training opportunities on the Cheyenne-Arapaho reservation to provide for the hiring of Indians where qualified, and through the training of Indians where there are not sufficiently qualified Indians to meet the employment opportunities.

(2) Nothing contained in the Code shall violate or undermine federal requirements on Equal Employment Opportunity; namely title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act; and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program (OFCCP) or Executive Order 11246 Title VII prohibits preferential employment on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin However, Title VII contains a special exception which makes Indian preference permissible Section 703 (i) states, "Nothing contained in this title shall apply to any business or enterprise on or near an Indian Reservation with regard to any publicly announced employment practice of such business or enterprise under which a preferential treatment is given to any individual because he is an Indian."

(3) The Bureau of Indian Affairs in its regulations implementing the Indian Self-Determination Act provides for Indian preference in employment and all contracts negotiated pursuant to the Act See 25 USC 3271.44.

(4) The U.S. Congress justifies Tribes' power to impose preferential requirements on the grounds that: 'This exemption is consistent with the Federal Government's policy of encouraging Indian employment and with the special legal position of Indian.

(5) In January 1977, the OFCCP issued regulations which states: "Work on or near Indian Reservations " It shall not be a violation of equal opportunity clause for a construction or non-construction contractor to extend a publicly announced preference in employment to Indians living on or near an Indian Reservation The use of the word "near" would include all that area where a person seeking employment could reasonably be expected to commute to and from in the course of a work day Contractors or sub-contractors extending such a preference shall not, however, discriminate among Indians on the basis of religion, sex, or tribal affiliation, and the use of such a preference shall not excuse a contractor from complying with the other requirements contained in the Section.
