Cert Stage Briefs in Herrera v. Wyoming

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

2017-10-05 Herrera Cert Petition

Question presented:

Whether Wyoming’s admission to the Union or the establishment of the Bighorn National Forest abrogated the Crow Tribe of Indians’ 1868 federal treaty right to hunt on the “unoccupied lands of the United States,” thereby permitting the present-day criminal conviction of a Crow member who engaged in subsistence hunting for his family.
