SECTION 102. PURPOSE AND POLICY
(A) The Peacemaker Program is established as a means to incorporate tribal culture and tradition in the tribe’s response to youth delinquency. Tribal culture is vibrant and living and it is a positive influence on young people.
(B) It shall be the policy of the Pit River Tribe of Indians that the Pit River Tribe address youth conduct in a culturally appropriate manner and in ways that help restore harmony and peace to the community.
(C) The Peacemaker Program shall concentrate on correcting and fixing problems, providing restitution, and on healing. It is the policy of the Pit River tribe to employ traditional peace-making methods and restorative justice to help reconnect ‘lost’ individuals with the Pit River community and to help re-instill tribal identity and rebuild self-esteem.
(D) The Peacemaker Program shall not emphasize punishment or physical detention, though sanctions for non-compliance may be given where appropriate. The Peacemaker Program is created to help foster personal responsibility and accountability among tribal and community youth, and all community members. The tribe values family participation and it is the policy of the tribe to encourage families to assume responsibility over tribal youth.
