A resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Boldt decision of 1974.

This resolution (SRES 573) is a ceremonial Senate measure commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1974 Boldt decision, a landmark court ruling. It recognizes the decision's affirmation of tribal treaty rights to fish, including the right to co-manage fisheries in Washington State. The resolution specifically acknowledges the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission and Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, which were established under the ruling. It does not create new laws or policies but formally honors this legal milestone and its impact on tribal sovereignty and fisheries management.
