Judge rules
From UPI and staff reports
GRAND RAPIDS-Michigan Indians won a stunning
federal court victory yesterday in a landmark decision
upholding their right to unlimited fishing free from
state-imposed restrictions.
In a 131-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Noel Fox
held that two Upper Peninsula Indian tribes retained
unlimited fishing rights under two 19th Century
treaties.
Fox's ruling came in a suit filed by the tribes in 1973
against the state. A spokesman for the Attorney
General's office said the ruling was being reviewed
and no decision had yet been made on whether the state
would appeal.
