Abstract
Abstract In the 1850s, the United States government, represented by Washington Territory governor Isaac Stevens, entered into treaties with many Indian tribes in the Pacific Northwest. Court interpretations of these treaties have placed Stevens Treaty tribes in a position as fisheries resource managers both on and off the reservation. Stevens Treaty tribes with fishing rights for the Columbia River include the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm Springs, and Yakima tribes. Collectively, these tribes compose the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC). Each of the four tribes, as well as the CRITFC, maintain professional fisheries staffs who are involved in a variety of fishery resource functions, including habitat management, natural and artificial production management, and harvest management.
