Abstract

This paper examines the fishery management consequences of litigation between Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Indians et al. and the State of Wisconsin in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (hereafter, Lac Courte Oreilles et al. vs State of Wisconsin, or, LCO). The case is important as a study in co-management because the court explicitly rejected the notion of "dual management authority," yet the management provisions accepted by the court require nothing less than intensive discourse and cooperation between tribal entities and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). Also of interest is the court's final allocation of 50 percent of the harvestable resources to Indians and 50 percent to non-Indians, in spite of its earlier determination that the Chippewa were entitled to utilize the resources up to a level that would provide a "modest or moderate standard of living.
