Nipo Strongheart was able to include Indians not dressed up in Indian costumes and succeeding in redressing wrongs done to them however much the lead role was still a white man in Indian costume.The court sequence is heavily and multiply textualized conveying legal arguments and judgements that refer to treaties. the judges decision parses the meaning of the treaty text itself We have examined the Federal treaty with the Indians and find that it gives them the right to fish where and when they please, without limitation by State tax or private ownership. ........
