Nisqually Open Public Meetings Act


I think this is important enough to cut and paste the preamble from their Open Meeting Act (emphasis added):

"1.01.010 Legislative Declaration

The legislature finds and declares that the Tribal Council, its subcommittees, boards, committees, departments, and all other divisions of the Nisqually Indian Tribe exist to aid in the conduct of
the people's business. It is the intent of this chapter that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly.

The people of this Tribe do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created."
