(d) The names of any and all excluded and/or removed persons shall be published in the local newspapers.

(e) The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians reserves the right to suspend the Tribal membership of any member excluded and/or removed under this Ordinance so that such individual becomes ineligible for any and all Tribal and/or federal benefits associated with Tribal membership during the period of exclusion and/or removal.

(f) In the event the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians notifies the Enrollment Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs that it wishes to exercise its right to suspend the Tribal membership of any member excluded and/or removed under this exclusion Ordinance, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians will instruct a Tribal official to provide Notice of such exclusion and/or removal to the Enrollment Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
