Growing up, I always sensed that my father was deeply involved in a significant legal case, although my understanding of it was limited as I was less than 5 years old at the time. It wasn’t until much later in life, when I attended an American Bar Association Water Law Conference, that I truly grasped the importance of the Boldt Decision. Now, as this pivotal ruling marks its 50th anniversary, I felt compelled to capture my father’s thoughts on the case.

In this session, you’ll learn about:

  • The background on the Boldt Decision (United States v. Washington, 384 F.Supp. 312 (W.D. Wash. Feb. 12, 1974)
  • Why the Indian Tribes brought suit
  • The parties involved in the Boldt lawsuit
  • The bodies of water affected by the Boldt Decision
  • How and why different agencies of the State took different positions on the lawsuit
  • Words matter: why the language “usual and accustomed grounds and stations” from the 1850’s era treaty was so important
  • How the court determined the Indian Tribes were engaged in commercial fishing at the time of the treaty
  • Why Native Americans testified on both sides of the case (for the State and for the Tribes)
  • How the United States argued that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service could assist the Indian Tribes in regulating fishing
  • Why Judge Boldt determined that the State could not regulate Indian fishing
  • The appellate process for the Boldt Decision
  • The effects on commercial fishing of the Boldt Decision
  • How the media covered the Boldt Decision
