"(l1)	The licensing provisions of this Article do not apply to:
(1)	A member of an Indian tribe recognized under Chapter 71A of the General Statutes for purposes of hunting, trapping, or fishing on tribal land.

A person exempted from licensing under this subdivision shall comply with (i) all reporting requirements prescribed by statute or Wildlife Resources Commission rule; (ii) the hunter education requirements set forth in G.S. 113‑270.1A; (iii) the requirements for purchase of federal migratory waterfowl stamps; and (iv) any other requirements of law or rule to which other North Carolina hunting and fishing license holders are subject."
