 [No title]
The Yakima Nation sought an injunction to prevent the County from imposing its ad valorem property tax on lands owned in fee by the Nation or its members within the boundaries of the Reservation and from collecting the state excise tax on sales of such lands by the Nation or its members.
Conversely, the Yakima Nation contends in its cross-petition (and we agree) that imposition of the ad valorem tax to Indian-owned land is prohibited as a matter of law under Moe and the more modern statutory provisions governing jurisdiction over Indian reservations, without any need for such a particularized assessment.
Yakima County seeks to avoid the holding in Moe -- and to tax the (Indian-owned) fee land itself -- by relying on the first proviso to Section 6, which was not quoted in Moe.

 State v. Meninock
It is not disputedthat these Indians reserved the stated privilege both as against their grantees and all who might become  [***6]  owners of the ceded lands.
It is the denial with respect to these Indians, and the exercise of the privilege reserved, of all state power of control or reasonable regulation as to lands and waters otherwise admittedly within the jurisdiction of the state.
