193373P.pdf   12/04/2020  Eugene Scalia  v.  Red Lake Nation Fisheries, Inc
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-3373
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Occupational Safety & Health Review Commi   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Indian law. OSHA issued citations to the Tribe's fishery business after two members of the Red Lake Tribe who were working for the fishery drowned on the reservation in Lower Red Lake,;the OSHA Review Commission dismissed the citations and the fine imposed and the Secretary of the Interior appeals; the Commission did not err in determining that OSHA was inapplicable to the Tribe because enforcement of the Act would dilute the principles of tribal sovereignty and self-government recognized in the applicable treaty which gave the Tribe fishing rights in the reservation; even if OSHA applied to Indian activities in other circumstances, OSHA would not apply to an enterprise owned by and consisting solely of Red Lake Tribe members, as the Tribe is perhaps the most insular and independent sovereign tribe.
