Law & Order Code 

The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe has existed as an independent, sovereign nation since time immemorial. Historically, the Tribe held sole and absolute jurisdiction over Pyramid Lake and its surrounding area. Today, the Tribe continues to govern the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation, limited in its authority only by its Constitution and By-laws, and the Constitution and laws of the United States of America. This Code is to be interpreted in a manner that recognizes the Tribe’s intent to assert the fullest extent of its sovereign authority over the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation.
