RESOLUTION OF THE GOVERNING BODY OF
THE THREE AFFILIATED TRIBES OF THE
FORT BERTHOLD RESERVATION
A Resolution entitled, "Authorization to Applyfor a Competitive Grant as Authorized by the
Second Chance Act Smart Reentry Program, to Plan and Implement Effective
and Evidence-based Reentry Practices and Service Delivery Systems from
Incarceration to Communityfor FY 2016, in the Amount of$1,000,900.00."
WHEREAS, This Nation having accepted the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934, and

specifically authorizes and empowers the Tribal Business Council to delegate to
the Tribal Court such judicial power and jurisdiction as may be necessary to
realize the sovereign authority granted by the People in Article 1 of the
Constitution; and
REAS, Article VI, Section 5(1) of the Constitution of the Three Affiliated Tribes
specifically authorizes and empowers the Tribal Business Council to adopt
resolutions regulating the procedure of Tribal agencies; and
WHEREAS, The MHA Nation and tribal members are experiencing an increase of substance
abuse from methamphetamines and heroin that impacts families and communities;
including, creating an economic burden and hardship on the Tribe and its
programs such as the courts, law enforcement, social services, and healthcare;
and
WHEREAS, The Tribal Business Council acknowledges and recognizes that in addition to
incarceration and treatment, a "re-entry" program is needed to reduce recidivism
rates and to assure successful reintegration into the communities; and
WHEREAS, Presently, there are approximately 100 MHA Nation tribal members in the
Bismarck/Mandan area on State probation, and 80% to 85% out of 100 have been
incarcerated on drug related charges, and are in need of a support system upon re
entry and eventual return to the MHA Nation; and

to the MHA Nation and will, most likely, resume their life of drug addiction, drug
trafficking, and other drug related criminal behaviors if they do not have the
services of a reentry program; and
WHEREAS, The source of the problem for high recidivism rates lies with the fact that these
individuals have no support system upon their release from incarceration and
reentry programs have a much greater success rate with respect to recidivism as
opposed to simply having a probation officer perform random drug testing; and
WHEREAS, The Tribal Business Council acknowledges that without an effective re-entry
program to reduce the recidivism rates, it will come as a great price to the Tribe
and the Tribe will continue to spend millions of dollars on healthcare, social
service related programs, law enforcement, and judicial services; and
WHEREAS, The Tribal Business Council recognizes that its priority is to ensure the safety and
well-being of individual tribal members and families; ineluding, providing safe
communities for all members ofthe MHA Nation; and

parenting classes, life skills, spiritual needs, and other sources of support; and
WHEREAS, The Warriors of the 2E' Century Re-Entry Program, in order to ensure that
program partieipants have the tools necessary to succeed upon return to the MHA
Nation, will develop a reentry strategic plan describing the long-term course of
action, including quantifiable five (5) year performance goals of increasing public
safety and reducing recidivism; and
WHEREAS, The Reentry Program seeks to further its mission by applying for additional grant
funds to better assist its target market with successful reentry and reduce
recidivism rates; and
WHEREAS,The U.S Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs(OJP), Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA), is seeking to fund five (5) applicants in the amount of
$1 million, commencing October 1, 2016; provided the applicant has a

meeting the Second Chance Act funding requirements by establishing formal
partnerships for reentry services, maintaining statistics, gathering letters of
Page 2 of 4

support, leveraging partnerships with health and treatment facilities, housing,
probation and correctional departments by entering into Memorandum of
Understandings and obtaining letters of support; and
NOW THERE FOR IT BE RESOLVED,the Tribal Business Council finds that it is in the best
interest of the tribe to authorize the Warriors of the 21st Century Reentry Program
to apply for the U.S. Department of Justice- BJA-2016-9207 "Smart Reentry:
Focus on Evidenced-Based Strategies for Successful Reentry from Incarceration
to Community" in the amount of $1,000,000.00, that requires a 50% Tribal match
over a 3 year project period.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Tribal Business Council, pursuant to its express
