1.22.110 Fish Houses; Requirements; Removal

No non-Indian person shall erect, have or maintain any fish house used or to be used to protect one while engaged in fishing through the ice, or on the ice in any waters of the waters of the Turtle Mountain Jurisdiction without first obtaining and having in their immediate possession a valid Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians Tribal fishing license. Fish houses shall be permitted on the ice for the period between December fifteenth and March first and shall be subject to such rules and regulations as the Tribal Council and the North Dakota State Game and Fish Commissioner may adopt governing the construction, maintenance and use of such fish houses. Each fish house shall have inscribed on the exterior thereof, in readily distinguishable characters, at least six (6) inches high, the Tribal fishing license number and the name of the owner of the fish house. Failure to remove the fish house by March fifteenth shall be deemed an abandonment and a Tribal Court Judge may issue a court order to remove or destroy such abandoned fish houses.
