Within and outside of reservations, thorny legal issues can arise around which government has regulatory authority and over what. This program will cover many interrelated topics around treaty rights, environmental protection, and taxation – topics all related to reservations and territories ceded by Ojibwe tribes through treaties in 1837 and 1842, which paved the way for Wisconsin statehood in 1848. Attorneys who navigate government regulation at any level in the areas of tribal-state relations, taxation, and land tenure will benefit from discussions on:

• Taxation of fee lands and energy infrastructure
• Food gathering
• Tribal environmental regulation
