The civil remedial forfeiture remedies governed by this chapter are not mutually exclusive, nor shall they be the sole and exclusive remedies of the tribe for breach of its ordinances. Nothing in this chapter shall restrict or curtail the right of the tribe to prosecute or seek the criminal prosecution of any defendant or owner or to institute a civil action for damages in any court against a defendant or owner. In addition to the civil remedies provided in this chapter, the tribal court may order a defendant or owner to perform or refrain from performing such acts as may be necessary fully to protect the tribe, its members, its property, or its natural resources. The tribal court may order abatement of a nuisance, restoration of natural resource, or other appropriate action designed to eliminate or minimize damage caused by a defendant or owner. The tribal court may, where provided by ordinance, revoke or suspend any or all tribal permits, licenses or privileges.
