In a 5-4 decision in favor of a Wyoming Native American tribe, the US Supreme Court ruled that a 19th-century treaty between the tribe and the state did not expire when Wyoming became a state
Washington The US Supreme Court on Monday sided with a Wyoming Native American tribe, ruling that a 19th-century treaty between the tribe and the state did not expire when Wyoming became a state.
The court ruled in favor of Native American rights in a 5-4 decision. In her majority opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor -- joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch -- wrote that an 1868 treaty between the Crow Tribe and the United States in which the tribe ceded most of its territory in modern-day Wyoming so its members would have a right to hunt on"unoccupied" parts of the land did not expire after Wyoming gained statehood.
