Appeals court to hear Wash. tribe's treaty dispute
Wednesday, March 17, 2004
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals next week will hold oral arguments in the Skokomish Tribe's $6 billion treaty rights dispute. The tribe says its treaty rights were violated by the construction of two dams that impede fish runs. The tribe is suing the city of Tacoma for $5.9 billion in damages. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit rejected the tribe's two lawsuits over the dam. A full panel of 11 judges will rehear the case in San Francisco next Tuesday. Get the Story:
