Welcome to the Fort Peck Tribes - Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance website.


The Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes have determined that jobs, contracts, and subcontracts in the private sector on or near the Fort Peck Reservation are an important resource for Indian people. The Fort Peck Tribal Government has the inherent sovereign power to pass laws to protect the interests, health, and general welfare of Indian people. The Fort Peck Tribal Executive Board has determined that the Fort Peck Tribes have a compelling interest in adopting TERO to combat the high rate of unemployment on the Reservation and for the purposes set forth here.

TERO has three (3) main functions:
1) TERO manages the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance that provides for Indian Preference in employment, contracting and subcontracting conducted on the Fort Peck Reservation. 2) TERO coordinates the Certification of Indian Contractors, Negotiates Employer Compliance Plans, Offers TERO Orientation, Apprenticeship Program, Cooperative Human Resource Agreements as well as providing for work-related training. 3) TERO also represents the local EEOC or Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
