Abstract
In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court granted a Writ of Habeas Corpus, on behalf of several incarcerated youth. The Court reasoned that resolution 254-93 did not repeal Ch. 7 of the Blackfeet Law and Order Code nor did the resolution enact a new Juvenile Code as law. Under the then Juvenile Code, detention of juveniles beyond their initial order of detainment, without a properly filed petition for further detainment, was unlawful. The Juveniles rights were violated by not holding a hearing each time detention order was granted.
