 1837, 1842 and 1854 Treaties. 



III. GUFWC'S CO-MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES 



Because the natural resources subject to tribal off-reservation treaty rights are in 

 certain instances subject to the overlapping interests of many governments, GLIFWC 

 undertakes a wide range of co-management resource management activities with state, 

 federal and foreign governments. Some of these activities are the direct result of litigation 

 and court orders, while others are pursued as part of the general govemment-to-govemment 

 relationship between tribes and other governments. 



For example, court orders in the LCO case provide for tribal participation in any 

 Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource (WDNR) committee involving the natural 

 resources within the portions of the 1837 and 1842 Treaty ceded territories located in 

 Wisconsin. These orders generally require the WDNR to recognize tribal representatives 

 as official members of species advisory committees and any other committees created to 

 manage or impacting the species involved and their habitat They also generally require all 

 reasonable efforts to reach consensus in the committees. GLIFWC's member tribes have 

 designated GLIFWC biologists to serve as tribal representatives on these committees. 



Beyond the particular context of the LCO case, GLIFWC represents its member 

 tribes in the following bodies or committees:
