A review of band by-law activity 1975-1986 .: R5-552/1980E-PDF
"Sections 81, 83, and 85.1 of the Indian Act give band councils certain powers to pass by-laws. These by-laws have a status similar to that of regulations of a general nature made by federal or provincial Order-in-Council, or to territorial regulations in the Northwest Territories. A valid band council by-law would override any provincial or municipal law which would otherwise apply on a reserve. This is because a band council by-law is part of federal law and federal law, under one of the enumerations of powers in Section 91 of the B.N.A. Act such as "Indians and lands reserved for Indians" in Section 91(24), overrides otherwise valid provincial legislation or municipal by-laws made under provincial legislation."--p. 1.
