Mescalero Reservation Declares Tribal Sovereignty Over Laws
A federal court ruling by Judge Edwin Mechem holds that New Mexico hunting and fishing laws do not apply on the Mescalero Apache Reservation. The decision reinforces tribal sovereignty by treaty, barring state interference with tribal game laws and with fish or game crossing reservation boundaries. It parallels a prior ruling on liquor sales and signals limited state regulatory reach on Indian lands.
