Abstract

"Alexander also announced that the Columbia River General Council Fish Commission, made up of Yakima Indian fishermen, plans to continue in existence. He pointed out that one of the objectives of the group has been recognition of the Treaty of 1855 and noted Superior Court Judge Ross Rakow's ruling in an Indian fishing case at Stevenson which upheld the treaty. 'Our decision is that we will remain as an organized legal body within the Yakima tribe until such time as the Tribal Council or someone else can prove otherwise,' he said."
