Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This compilation of federal court decisions relevant to treaty fishing rights in the Columbia River Basin was prepared by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission to inform decision makers and the public about the law defining the scope of those treaty rights. These decisions consider whether the treaty fishing right includes the right to have fishery habitat protected from despoilation caused by logging, agriculture, and hydro-power development in the Basin. It is not intended to be inclusive in light of the amount and complexity of the litigation initiated in the federal courts on this subject. Copies of other cases cited in these attached decisions can be obtained from a law library"--Page [i].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-nineteenth century, as the pace of American westward expansion accelerated and tension between white settlers and indigenous tribes mounted, the federal government convinced many Pacific Northwest tribes to enter into treaties that would facilitate white settlement. In exchange for cession of millions of acres of their homeland, the tribes retained the right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed places in common with white settlers. In the 1905 case United States v. Winans, the United States Supreme Court explained that the treaty fishing right constitutes a "servitude upon every piece of land." We have described this servitude as a "piscary profit," a familiar property right at common law that must be exercised free from unreasonable interference. While the universally shared assumption at the time the treaties were signed was that the salmon resource was inexhaustible, in fact the salmon have been in precipitous decline since the late-1800s. This scarcity bred conflicts, which have forced the tribes to enforce their treaty fishing right in the courts for over a century. This article explores the history and contours of the treaty fishing right from 1905 to present, tracing the evolution of the federal courts' understanding that implied within the fishing right is a right of access, a right to a fair share of the salmon harvest, and a right of habitat protection. In particular, the article examines the 2007 Culverts Case, in which Judge Ricardo S. Martinez resoundingly affirmed that the treaty fishing right prohibits habitat-damaging activities that preclude tribes from earning a moderate living through fishing-in this case, the state of Washington's construction and maintenance of fish passage-blocking culverts. The article concludes that not only is Judge Martinez's decision the logical progeny of over a century's worth of precedent, the result is consistent with common law principles of profits. In the end, the Martinez Decision represents the most important treaty fishing rights decision in decades, with the potential to rectify a fundamental unfairness in treaty fishing rights law, which previously provided access to fisheries, allocated harvest shares, and yet allowed destruction of the salmon resource, the central consideration of one of the largest real estate transactions in history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Affairs, Vol. 3: Laws and Treaties; (Laws) Compiled to December 1, 1913 I have the honor to present to the Congress, in compliance with its resolution, the third volume of my compilation of Indian Laws and Treaties. The former volumes were first published under a resolution of the Senate in 1902, and shortly thereafter a second edition was ordered by a concurrent resolution of the two Houses. This third volume brings down to date all laws relative to Indian affairs passed by Congress since 1902 together with all Executive proclamations, departmental orders, etc., relating to Indian reservations to date, a list of Indian trust funds standing to the credit of various tribes, and also several old Indian treaties which it was not possible to procure when the volume containing the treaties was prepared. It was the compiler's purpose when he began the work on the third volume to make it superior, if possible, to the first two volumes, and thinks he has succeeded at least in making it more comprehensive and useful by inserting annotations and citations from the opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Federal and State Courts, the Court of Claims, the Interior Department, the Attorney General, and the Comptroller of the Treasury, wherever it was found that the laws had been construed. In addition, the compiler was successful in obtaining the consent of the publishers of the Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure (cyc) to allow the reprinting in the third volume of the article on Indians, which covers fully and completely the general law relating to Indians and will be found extremely useful as a ready reference. This, in connection with the annotations and the citations to court decisions and a thorough index will enable the freest investigation of any question relating to Indians and Indian affairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable reference reveals the long, often contentious history of Native American treaties, providing a rich overview of a topic of continuing importance. Treaties with American Indians: An Encyclopedia of Rights, Conflicts, and Sovereignty is the first comprehensive introduction to the treaties that promised land, self-government, financial assistance, and cultural protections to many of the over 500 tribes of North America (including Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada). Going well beyond describing terms and conditions, it is the only reference to explore the historical, political, legal, and geographical contexts in which each treaty took shape. Coverage ranges from the 1778 alliance with the Delaware tribe (the first such treaty), to the landmark Worcester v. Georgia case (1832), which affirmed tribal sovereignty, to the 1871 legislation that ended the treaty process, to the continuing impact of treaties in force today. Alphabetically organized entries cover key individuals, events, laws, court cases, and other topics. Also included are 16 in-depth essays on major issues (Indian and government views of treaty-making, contemporary rights to gaming and repatriation, etc.) plus six essays exploring Native American intertribal relationships region by region.
