The Supreme Court has sided with a member of the Crow Tribe in Wyoming who had been charged and convicted with hunting elk out of season and without a license.

Trump-appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch sided with his left-leaning colleagues to argue that an 1868 treaty between the tribe and the U.S. government allows members of the tribe to hunt in “unoccupied” lands outside their reservation.
In 2014, Clayvin Herrera and several other Crow members pursued a group of elk past the boundary of the reservation and into the neighboring Bighorn National Forest. They shot several bull elk and returned to Montana with the meat.

The State of Wyoming charged Herrera with taking elk off-season or without a state hunting license and with being an accessory to the same.

They actually honored a treaty, well I’ll be. I believe the eskimos have something similar and the tribes up in Canada also.

What the Supreme Court didn't say is that they exchanged the Elk meat for some "blankets" to go back to the reservation. White Man speak with forked tongue, always.

Did they hunt, butcher and skin them using traditional "native american" tools or did they use evil tools of the white man?
