Old Presidential Order May Curb Indian Rights
A 1850 presidential order by Zachary Taylor could invalidate parts of a Michigan Supreme Court ruling that gave Indians near unlimited hunting and fishing rights in the western Upper Peninsula. State officials plan to discuss the order, which may void Indian rights in that region, with emphasis on the 1842 treaty. The discovery implications involve Minnesota and Wisconsin disputes and a rare pre 1860 order.
