		The court's conclusions substantially reflect the position of the Tribes and of the United States, which the court found to be "overwhelmingly" supported by the historical evidence of the intent of the signatory parties to the Treaties.
		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.
		The Tribes are entitled to harvest shellfish on privately-owned tidelands.

	Stillaguamish Tribe wants chance to prosper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The 190-member Stillaguamish Tribe is proving that point by razing its little village of federally subsidized houses north of Arlington to build a casino.
		Tribe members hope it will bring a measure of affluence not enjoyed since before the white man came and the river ran thick with salmon.
		Using about $5 million of the $36 million the Stillaguamish were loaned by the backers of its casino project, the tribe has moved the roughly 150 people who live in 30 houses now being demolished to make way for the casino.

	The Seattle Times: Snohomish County News: Stillaguamish Tribe puts land in trust as buffer to casino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		If the federal government agrees, the tribe could develop the land, which is in a rural area north of Arlington, into a parking lot, retail shops or something else to go along with the 22,000-square-foot casino the tribe plans to start building next month.
		The tribe has the same opponents it had last year — the county government and area residents — but since securing a $19 million loan last week, the tribe's plan appears to be unfolding without a hitch.
		Goodridge said petitions are expensive for the tribe to process, and he believes a lack of support, not a fee, stopped the effort to get rid of him.

	Natural Resource Department Home
		Because the welfare of Treaty Tribes is the responsibility of the U.S. Government (Trust status), it became the responsibility of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to manage fish, shellfish, and other natural resources for the benefit of the Tribes.
		Seeing the benefit of having each Tribe manage it's own resources, the BIA entered into contracts with the Tribes for the purpose of providing management of fish and shellfish resources within their respective U&A's.
		The mission of the Natural Resources department is therefore to manage, protect, and conserve those natural resources that are required to sustain healthy populations of fish, shellfish, and wildlife within the Stillaguamish Tribe's U&A (Stillaguamish Watershed).

		The Stillaguamish Tribal Utility District project is a logical outgrowth of the Tribe's efforts to restore and protect the environment of the Stillaguamish River and its watershed and a response to the deliterious effects on our projects-The Banksavers project in particular-the current energy crisis is causing.
		No. The Tribe is prepared to commit $30,000 for down payment if land acquisition is required but does not have the resources to fund the needed feasibility and engineering studies needed to develop funding applications.
		The proposed project is consistent with the Tribe's efforts towards self-sufficiency Because of the climate related to the energy crisis, funding agencies are amenable to projects of this nature The Tribe has had initial discussions with the Bonneville Foundation, and they are very supportive of our submitting a grant proposal/request.

		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 accustomed grounds for each species of fish.
		In their cross-appeal, the Tribes and the United States contend that, in its implementation decision (Shellfish II), the district court disregarded its own admonition in its first decision that it lacked authority to rewrite or interpret the terms of the treaties to avoid hardship to any party based on its own notions of the equities.
		The fact that the Tribes are concerned about the Growers' "gaping loophole" to deny them access to naturally occurring shellfish by never allowing their beds to be free of oyster crops evidences the tension between the parties.

	High Country News -- Printable -- May 12, 2003: Tiny tribe bets its community on casino
		Goodridge says the tribe’s limited finances means it has a hard time providing adequate services, such as education and health care, for its 194 members.
		When the tribe was finally recognized, it purchased a small plot of land just north of Arlington and built what would become known as “the Village.” The Village, a cul-de-sac of ramshackle Department of Housing and Urban Development dwellings anchored by a community center, was home to several dozen Stillaguamish families for two decades.
		So, with the tribe’s help, she bought a 5-bedroom house for $185,000, about 18 miles from the village, in a quiet corner of the soggy Stillaguamish River Valley.

		Treaties must be construed as a reservation of rights by the Tribes, not a granting of rights by the United States, the Shively presumption and the Equal Footing Doctrine cannot play a role in the evaluating the existence or scope of the rights.
		The Tribes argue that these restrictions are costly, cumbersome, unsupported by the record, and contrary to the Treaties.

		Ross saw this as the perfect moment to press her case for federal recognition of the Stillaguamish tribe.
		She found that the Stillaguamish whom she met lacked a native identity in the same way that she did; only through federal recognition of the tribe, she believed, could it be restored.
