Section 2. Jurisdiction. The Jurisdiction of the Tribes shall extend to all persons, activities, and property within the Territory based upon inherent Sovereignty, except as prohibited by federal law. Any person who enters the Territory shall, by entering, be deemed to have consented to the Jurisdiction of the Tribes. Every license or permit issued under the authority of the Tribes shall include a provision submitting all parties and their assigns to the Jurisdiction of the Tribes. Any employee of the Tribes shall, by accepting employment, be deemed to have submitted to the Jurisdiction of the Tribes.
