WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2002 An attorney whose work paved the way for the historic Boldt fishing rights decision died on Monday. George Dysart was 79. Dysart brought the 1969 legal case, United States v. Oregon, that affirmed treaty based-fishing rights in the Columbia River basin. The decision led to 1974's Boldt case that split the catch equally between tribes and non-Indians. Get the Story:
