U.S. Supreme Court expands state power over Native American tribes
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday dramatically increased the power of states over Native American tribes and undercut its own 2020 ruling that had expanded tribal authority in Oklahoma, handing a victory to Republican officials in that state.www.reuters.com
Since this decision came down, I've wondered if it would have any impact here regarding the treaty.
Couple of notable quotes from the article :
"To be clear, the court today holds that Indian country within a state's territory is part of a state, not separate from a state," - Justice Kavanaugh
"under the Constitution and this court's precedents, the default is that states may exercise criminal jurisdiction within their territory." - Justice Kavanagh

So, you’d like to appeal the federal court decision? What would the basis of the appeal be?
Form a basis for an appeal, and use it in a liberal headline. You seem to just like to rant.
I’ll wait.
How about this? “State of Michigan and ‘sportsman’ move to strip native Americans of 200 year old treaty fishing rights.”
Our case is a loser. In Court and in public opinion.

I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize you trying to be funny.
Politics is involved. Like everything else…you crack me up…..
Only the decision to fight it or not fight it through the State Government.
Yep. The case is a loser. No State AG would ever want to pick it up. The sportsman do not have funds nor sufficient organization to raise funds to hire competent counsel to file a civil suit to intercede. So we whine on the internet as a next best thing.
Lol, conspiracy, of what? It’s much simpler than that; it is a flat out rejection of the continued partnership model with the MDNR leadership. The best we can hope for is for the natives to at least keep MDNR of informed of their planting actions. That combined with the feds plans will become the basis of the constraints that MDNR will have to work with to form a supplemental planting strategy to appease anglers. Our input, comes way down the list….
Not trying to be harsh, just trying to give a summary. I suppose, if I were a teacher I might say the MDNR partnership model was so successful that the tribes are ready to assume the leadership role…lol
You make it sound like like the tribes need our money. I suspect that its more likely the tribes might buy some state hatchery locations, and the fisheries chief would be happy to sell.
Sign all the petitions you want…..
Lol, I think of it more as a prime example of my forefathers writing checks their asses can’t cash…….
where were you guys when I was railing back in ‘78 or so? Lol

Once upon a time there were many many more anglers, and many more fish. Then several horrific things happened in the lakes and the anglers petered out over time. No one cares but the 11 of us on this thread, plus some charters who thought it could be a business too. What’s a charter but a commercial fishery with hook and line?
there’s nobody left to care.

Or as a friend of mine liked to say about many topics; “genie is out of the f’n bottle, it ain’t going back in”.
