Crime Prevention and Education

Alcohol and Drugs

The Federal Enclaves Act applied to crimes by non-Indians on the reservation, and has been interpreted to extend the General Laws of the United States to Indian perpetrators as well.  Thus, all of the drug laws of the United States relates to possessions, use, sale, trafficking, and conspiring, amount others, as codified in 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq. applies to anyone violating those laws on the campus of Oglala Lakota College.  Prosecution may be brought in tribal court, if a violation of the Oglala Sioux Law and Order Code occurs, or in federal court under the Federal Enclaves Act. (18 U.S.C. 1152) and the drugs laws of the United States, or both simultaneously.

Alcohol crimes at the Federal level are described in 18 U.S.C. 1154 (Dispension of Liquor in Indian Country),
18 U.S.C. 1155 (Intoxicators Dispensed on School Site), and 18 U.S.C. 1156 (Intoxicants possessed unlawfully).  Possession and trafficking of liquor, including “bootlegging” may be prosecuted in Federal court, or in Tribal court, or both.

These are the primary laws, along with the Tribal Code, which applies to alcohol and drug crimes on the Oglala Lakota College campus, excluding the Rapid City Extension (upon which South Dakota State alcohol and drug laws apply).
