    The Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa (Meskwaki) has been governed by a Constitution since its inception in 1937. This tribe has NEVER legally revise, amended nor changed this document! Stephen F. Olson, Minnesota atty, has been advising an illegal "armed-takeover" tribal council to follow rules from a PL 280 state. Iowa IS NOT a PL 280 state. This illegal tribal council has been using a 10-day comment period to "make laws". Five members of a tribal council MUST ask the Secretary of Interior for any amendment to the tribal constitution. It takes a vote of the people, NOT a 10-day comment period, to make law. See Tribal Constitution, Pg. 13, "Amendments".
