flag Washington Supreme Court overturns 1924 conviction of Yakama Nation citizen Jim Wallahee, citing treaty right to hunt on open lands.

flag 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. flag In a 7-2 ruling, the court found that Wallahee's conviction ignored his treaty right to hunt on open and unclaimed lands. flag The ruling is seen as a step toward reconciliation, redressing the racist harm from a century-old unjust conviction.
