The reservation permit must be carried upon the person while engaged in harvesting and displayed to authorized state or reservation conservation officers upon request.
Persons, other than tribal members, harvesting wild rice on the reservation must possess a license to harvest wild rice in addition to the reservation permit.
Non-Indian wild rice buyers buying wild rice within the reservation must possess a buyer's permit from the reservation business committee in addition to a state wild rice dealer's license.
