This guide is designed to be used by legal drafting committees of tribal governments when drafting new or amended tribal statutory provisions. These provisions may compose various parts of the tribal code, but are likely to be found in the criminal code, rules of court, and/or the rules of evidence. This is in contrast to provisions found in the dependency and/or delinquency codes (also known as children's codes). This guide is essentially an overview of the comparative laws and the underlying policies that impact the well-being of children from two perspectives: Federal anti-violence and victim-assistance legislation; and tribal law, including customs, traditions, and generally accepted practices that promote the well-being of children. The development of tribal law involves careful consideration of both the needs and values of the tribal community and researched and tested innovation in Federal and State law. Issues that may be important to tribes are a commitment to reinforce customs, traditions, and/or generally accepted local practices; the use of traditional or alternative dispute-resolution practices; a commitment to pursue traditional or therapeutic healing practices; recognition of traditional or respected authorities, leaders, or elders; and recognition of the role, duties, obligations, privileges, and rights of relatives of a certain type.
