Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Council Curfew Notification

As an additional way to limit transmission of the COVID-19 and protect our community, the Tribal Council enacts a reservation-wide curfew. This curfew is from 10 PM to 6 AM daily starting on April 10, 2020 and lasting until the end of the tribal Public Health State of Emergency. People who are away from their homes during curfew hours are considered to be trespassing and will be cited for a violation of Section 16.9 (B) of tribal law and subject to a $500 fine.

This curfew supplements the existing limitation on gatherings of 10 or more people established under the self-isolation order. People can still travel for legitimate business purposes or for reasons of safety. Law enforcement, fire department, and EMS personnel are authorized to travel during curfew hours. The curfew also does not prevent travel by persons due to an emergency, such as a health emergency that requires transport to a hospital or if people needs to leave a location to ensure the safety of themselves or their children.

Community members who need to travel during curfew hours such as for travel to and from work should provide prior notice of their hours of travel and reason for travel to the Tribe by emailing the information to Chief of Police Jim Hoffman at jim.hoffman@mohican-nsn.gov or calling at (715)793-4394.
