Indian Law

Paper details:

1) Fish and game are nomadic and migratory. They do not respect Tribal or state borders. Tribal sovereignty permits Tribes to regulate, administrate and otherwise oversee and control fish and game, hunters and fishermen on reservations. Most states have thorough and well tested game management, hunter/fisherman rules, regulations and administration. What are the pros and cons relating to state fish and game departments having concurrent or total jurisdiction on Indian reservations? 2) Should it matter if the Tribe uses the fish and game for subsistence living or just for recreation/sport?
