So Long As Game May Be Found Thereon... is a profound journey into the complex history, law, and enduring spirit of Indian treaty hunting in the American West. Through meticulous research and deep personal reflection, this book unravels the tangled legacy of treaties forged between the Bannock, Shoshone, and Crow Nations and the United States-agreements that promised Indian Nations "the right to hunt on the unoccupied lands of the United States so long as game may be found thereon." From the brutal realities behind landmark cases like Ward v. Race Horse to the modern-day legal battles redefining tribal sovereignty, this book sheds light on a forgotten and often misunderstood struggle. It exposes how centuries of injustice, broken promises, and systemic bias have undermined treaty rights and tribal autonomy-while honoring the resilience and unyielding courage of Indian communities who continue to fight for their rightful place on the land. The book challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about American history, colonialism, and the ongoing fight for justice.
