Washington Supreme Court overturns 1924 conviction of Yakama Nation citizen Jim Wallahee, citing treaty right to hunt on open lands.
The Washington Supreme Court has overturned the 1924 conviction of a Yakama Nation citizen, Jim Wallahee, who was convicted for illegally hunting a deer on land ceded in the Treaty of 1855.
In a 7-2 ruling, the court found that Wallahee's conviction ignored his treaty right to hunt on open and unclaimed lands.
The ruling is seen as a step toward reconciliation, redressing the racist harm from a century-old unjust conviction.
