A Guide to Understanding Chippewa Treaty Rights"This guide is distributed by the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC) in an effort to promote better public understanding of Chippewa treaty rights. To that end, the guide addresses common questions and misperceptions and provides background information on treaties and tribal sovereignty. Although the exercise of treaty rights on ceded lands has been a subject of considerable media attention over the past several years, the emphasis has frequently been on the controversy rather than providing information and promoting understanding. It is the hope of the Commission that this guide will clarify questions and provide a more objective, non-controversial perspective"--Page 2 of cover |
