Ok, so we need to follow the rules when we are on their land, but they can go anywhere they want and not follow any rules….what exactly aren’t you understanding?
Kind of hard to release a big female that has a spear stuck through its head….
Pretty certain if a native was , let's say, on lake ontario not following the state lawsTheyd get fined....From what I see NYS DEC did their job amd enforced the laws and they were superceded by our federal government!!!This obviously is a big deal!!!I'm not 100% familiar with the treaty and all the bits and pieces to this intricuit puzzle... From what I see there are some severe grey areas that need to be fixed here between the government and the tribal heads..I live really close to seneca territory I have to abide by their rules as I'm not a native.... with that being said, the only law they have are... there are none for tribal members.. same goes for hunting.. they can kill as many, in ANY FASHION THEY WANT.. spotlight... gun..bow..boat.. we are not allowed to hunt their land at all...Something we just have to understand is that their culture lives off the land... Now if they come onto NYS LAND, they must follow the state laws and regs....Sooooo... what im missing is....Why is it a big deal that we have to follow their regulations?! They could easily say, ZERO NON NATIVE ACCESS TO OUR RESOURCES..There obviously are some infractions here and my opinion is, they SHOULD be fined... however, as I stated earlier, there are alot of bits and pieces here that we arent aware of
