These are applicable and enforceable only within the boundaries of Indian reserves.  They applied to all residents regardless of status.  To be enforceable, they must be enacted through the process outlined in the Indian Act.  Contravention to the by-laws can result in summary conviction offence resulting in fines or other penal sanctions.
