Utah has filed an amicus brief in a court of appeals, stating why the state has 'substantial interest' in the lawsuit involving the Northwestern Band of Shoshone's hunting and fishing rights in Idaho.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah recently threw its weight behind the Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation's lawsuit against Idaho.
The lawsuit is one of a series of tribal hunting and gather lawsuits currently playing out across the country, where tribes are turning to the judicial system to assert their treaty rights.in a court of appeals, stating the state has "substantial interest" in the outcome because many of the tribe's members live in Utah and assert hunting and fishing rights under the same treaty.
Idaho also argues that the Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation was not part of the treaty. At the time of the treaty, the Shoshone tribe consisted of about 14 bands. Idaho argues that the treaty was made with the Eastern Shoshone and Bannock."It would make little sense for the government to grant hunting rights but not receive anything in exchange," Nye.
