Washington state authorities allege that a man claim-
ing membership in the Yakama Nation Indian Tribe
was fishing illegally in Suquamish Tribe waters near
Kingston. The state authorities say the man was fish-
ing from an unmarked boat, and that a Yakama tribal
official knowingly issued his invalid permit.
The man is accused of selling 5,600 pounds of
chum salmon he caught using a gill net.
The October 2017 incident casts light on an ongo-
ing disagreement over who has rights to harvest fish
in the Puget Sound, leading back to different inter-
pretations of a passage in the middle of the land-
mark 1974 Boldt Decision—officially known as U.S.
vs. Washington—that says Yakama tribal members
had traditionally fished in the Puget Sound.
