Update in Wisconsin Mining Legislation from Bad River Band
From the Band:
Last year, the Wisconsin Senate began preparations to take up the issue of mining by creating a new committee – the Mining Jobs Committee – composed of Senators who have a long history and commitment to the issue of natural resources. After the Wisconsin Assembly passed AB 426, legislation that is widely known to be written by an out-of-state company for the purpose of easing environmental regulations and eliminating provisions that allow citizens to participate in the permitting process, the Senate Mining Jobs Committee introduced a bill that moderated a few of AB 426’s provisions. In a surprise move this week, on Wednesday, the Mining Jobs Committee was dissolved, and it was announced that the Assembly bill would be introduced into the Joint Finance Committee instead. The Bad River Band and other Wisconsin Tribes have come out strongly against the legislation. Wisconsin Indian Tribes have sent representatives to the Joint Finance Committee hearing in Madison. You can watch today’s proceedings here http://www.wiseye.org/.
Here is their press release:

25th Anniversary of Voigt Decision in Wisconsin
From the Wisconsin State Journal:
Northern Wisconsin marks an anniversary this year, but not everyone is celebrating. It involves 19th century Indian treaties that brought walleyes, fork-like spears, rock-throwing protesters and claims of racism to the forefront.
Twenty-five years ago, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago affirmed that Chippewa Indian tribes retained off-reservation fishing and hunting rights in 1837 and 1842 treaties that ceded millions of acres of what is now the northern third of Wisconsin to the U.S. government.
It led to a revival of an ancient Chippewa practice — spearing spawning walleyes from lakes in the spring — and led to fears from hook-and-line anglers that the fisheries would be ruined by a fishing method they claimed wasn’t sporting at all.
