Traditional Punishment as Sentencing Alternative

8 KNTC § 9-101

Tribe: Kaw Nation

Sentences shall be pronounced within a reasonable time. Sentencing shall be imposed on all offenses pursuant to the Tribal Code. To the extent that any foreign provisions incorporated into Tribal law provide a penalty that conflicts with Tribal sentencing law, Tribal sentencing law will control. Unless the District Court otherwise orders, all sentences stemming from offenses occurring in the same transaction or course of conduct are presumed to run concurrently and not consecutively. Where the District Court in its discretion deems it appropriate, a form of traditional punishment may be imposed in addition to or in place of any punishment provided in this code.
