	National Indian Law Library, Indian Law Bulletins, Squaxin Island Tribe v. Stephens
		The Tribes state that they will purchase the unadditized gasoline and diesel from suppliers off the reservations, transport the fuel to Tribal lands, blend it with the requisite additives, and sell the fuel at wholesale to their retail stations.
		The State argues that there is no preemption because the Tribes' contribution to the value of the fuel under its blending proposal would be de minimis and that the market-creation theory is not a valid consideration.
		Because the Tribe in Chickasaw Nation was operating stations at the retail level on tribal land, and the legal incidence of Oklahoma's fuel tax fell on retailers, the Supreme Court held that the tax could not be enforced.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Squaxin Island tribe takes aim at budget smokers
		The Squaxins hope to sell their cigarettes — along with pipe tobacco, loose "roll-your-own" tobacco, and perhaps imported cigars — at tribal smoke shops throughout the state, and eventually to nontribal distributors.
		The Omaha tribe in Nebraska began making cigarettes in 1997 but shut down its operation in 2002 after four states sued it for not paying into an escrow fund for cigarette makers that were not part of the 1998 master tobacco-industry settlement.
		The Squaxins are negotiating with states to resolve the escrow-payment issue in advance, Whitener said.

		While the Tribes may not be happy with the limits imposed on their harvesting, they are still able to effectuate their allocation under the Treaties and are not excluded from their ancient fisheries.
		They contend that the Tribes' "usual and accustomed" fishing grounds for shellfish are not coextensive with the usual and accustomed grounds for the taking of other fish, the boundaries of which were determined in Washington I. They suggest that the Tribes must establish their usual and accus- tomed grounds for each species of fish.

		Judge Boldt found that the treaties were "not a grant of rights to the Indians, but a grant of rights from them, and a reservation of those not granted." The tribes were not given fishing rights by the United States; instead they were sharing their fish resources with the newcomers.
