Introduction: Rights, resource allocation, and the fishery -- The fur trade -- The Great Lakes fishery, 1836-1965 -- Social structure and the forests -- Tourism and sport fishing -- Chippewa and Ottawa treaty rights -- Treaty rights in the courts -- State efforts to regain control -- With utmost good faith? -- What should be done?
This disturbing study of the struggle of the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians for traditional fishing rights in the Great Lakes raises legal and public policy questions that extend far beyond that region. Who owns common-property resources in the United States? Who should manage those resources and for whose benefit? Should Native Americans be accorded rights which supersede those of other citizens and restrict their economic and recreational opportunities? Can federal courts successfully resolve conflicts over resource allocation?
