Liquor Control

This Title shall be known as the
‘‘Nisqually Liquor Ordinance.’’

ACTION:

VerDate Mar<15>2010

General

29.01.01

Bureau of Indian Affairs,

SUMMARY:

The Nisqually Tribal Council adopted
this amendment to Title 29—Liquor—
Nisqually Liquor Ordinance by Tribal
Council Resolution No. 107–2013 on
July 2, 2013.
This notice is published in
accordance with the authority delegated
by the Secretary of the Interior to the
Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs. I
certify that the Nisqually Tribal Council
duly adopted this amendment to Title
29—Liquor—Nisqually Liquor
Ordinance by Tribal Council Resolution
No. 107–2013 on July 2, 2013.

29.01.02 Sovereign Immunity
Preserved
Except for the limited waiver of
sovereign immunity provided for in
subsection 29.03.06, nothing in this
Title is intended or shall be construed
as a waiver of the sovereign immunity
of the Nisqually Indian Tribe. The Board
and its members and employees shall
not be authorized, nor shall they
attempt to waive the immunity of the
Tribe.
29.01.03

Findings and Purpose

(a) The introduction, possession and
sale of liquor within Indian country
have, since treaty time, been clearly
recognized as matters of special concern
to Indian tribes and to the United States
government. The control of liquor
within Indian country remains
exclusively subject to United States and
tribal government authority.
(b) Beginning with the Treaty of
Medicine Creek, 10 Stat. 1132, Art. 9, to
which the ancestors of the Nisqually
Indian Tribe were parties, the Federal
government has respected this Tribe’s
determinations regarding liquor-related
transactions and activities on the
Nisqually Indian Reservation. At treaty
time, this Tribe’s ancestors desired to
exclude ‘‘ardent spirits’’ from their
Reservation. Federal law currently
prohibits the introduction of liquor into
Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1154), leaving
to tribes a decision regarding when and
to what extent liquor transactions shall
be permitted (18 U.S.C. 1161).

(c) Present-day circumstances make a
complete ban of liquor within the
Nisqually Indian Reservation ineffective
and unrealistic. At the same time, a
need still exists for strict tribal
regulation and control over liquor
distribution.
(d) The enactment of a tribal
ordinance governing liquor possession
and sales on the Reservation will
increase the ability of the tribal
government to control Reservation
liquor distribution and possession and
at the same time, will provide an
important source of revenue for the
continued operation and strengthening
of tribal government in the delivery of
tribal governmental services.
(e) In order to provide for increased
tribal control over liquor distribution
and possession on the Reservation and
to provide for an urgently needed
additional revenue source, the Nisqually
General Council adopts this liquor
ordinance pursuant to the powers
vested in it by Article VI, Sec. 1(e), 1(i)
and 1(h) of the Constitution and Bylaws
of the Nisqually Indian Community of
the Nisqually Reservation, Washington
and the Act of August 15, 1953, 67 Stat.
586, 18 U.S.C., Sec. 1161.
29.01.04 Relation to Other Tribal Laws
All prior ordinances and resolutions
of the Nisqually Indian Tribe regulating,
authorizing, prohibiting or in any way
dealing with the sale of liquor are
hereby repealed and are of no further
force and effect.
29.01.05 Definitions
As used in this Title, the following
definitions shall apply unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise:
(a) ‘‘Liquor’’ includes the four
varieties of liquor hereinafter defined
(alcohol, spirits, wine and beer), and all
fermented, spirituous, vinous or malt
liquor, or combinations thereof and
mixed liquor, a part of which is
fermented, spirituous, vinous or malt
liquor, or otherwise intoxicating. Every
liquid or solid or semi-solid or other
substance, patented or not, containing
alcohol, spirits, wine or beer and all
drinks or drinkable liquids and all
preparations or mixtures capable of
human consumption and any liquid,
semi-solid, solid or other substance
which contains more than one percent
of alcohol by weight shall be
conclusively deemed to be liquor within
the meaning of this Title.
(b) ‘‘Alcohol’’ is that substance known
as ethyl alcohol, hydrated oxide of
ethyl, or spirit of wine, which is
commonly produced by the
fermentation or distillation of grain,
starch, molasses, or sugar, or other
