The Supreme Court affirmed treaty rights in the case of a Crow tribal member charged with hunting without a license in Big Horn National Forrest in Wyoming. The court ruled the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty granted rights to hunt in traditional territory. We’ll talk with a legal expert about what the ruling could mean for other cases. We’ll check in with Mary Annette Pember (Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa) about her three part series on sexual harassment in Indian Country. Also we’ll talk with U.S. Rep.
