Content: reapportionment of voting districts on Indian reservations ("one man, one vote"), tribal government employee rights; land use regulations and condemnation procedures; criminal and civil proceedings in tribal courts; tribal membership and voting; tribal police activities, conduct of tribal council members and council meetings, and standards for enforcing due process of law and equal protection of the laws in tribal settings. Also, during this period, the federal courts devised rules of interpretation, including: While the ICRA is generally patterned after the Bill of Rights, the same language does not necessarily have to be interpreted in the same way; The ICRA does not require that Indians and non-Indians must be treated identically by tribal governments, that is, different treatment is permitted and justified in certain circumstances (for example, tribal membership requirements); Tribal customs, traditions, and culture must be considered in interpreting and applying the ICRA; and
Tribal remedies must first be exhausted before a dispute can be heard in federal court.
