              CHAPTER 15--CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF INDIANS
 
      SUBCHAPTER II--MODEL CODE GOVERNING COURTS OF INDIAN OFFENSES
 
Sec. 1311. Model code

    The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to 
recommend to the Congress, on or before July 1, 1968, a model code to 
govern the administration of justice by courts of Indian offenses on 
Indian reservations. Such code shall include provisions which will (1) 
assure that any individual being tried for an offense by a court of 
Indian offenses shall have the same rights, privileges, and immunities 
under the United States Constitution as would be guaranteed any citizen 
of the United States being tried in a Federal court for any similar 
offense, (2) assure that any individual being tried for an offense by a 
court of Indian offenses will be advised and made aware of his rights 
under the United States Constitution, and under any tribal constitution 
applicable to such individual, (3) establish proper qualifications for 
the office of judge of the court of Indian offenses, and (4) provide for 
the establishing of educational classes for the training of judges of 
courts of Indian offenses. In carrying out the provisions of this 
subchapter, the Secretary of the Interior shall consult with the 
Indians, Indian tribes, and interested agencies of the United States.
