   District of Minnesota   
   Criminal case - criminal law. While defendants, as members 
   of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa Indians, had the right 
   to hunt and fish in the Boundary Waters Area, the Boundary 
   Water Act's prohibition of the use of motorboats and motor 
   vehicles in this area did not violate their rights under an 
   1854 treaty; the use of the most advanced means of 
   transportation to reach the hunting and fishing areas is 
   merely peripheral to the treaty rights, and a prohibition on 
   the use of such methods did not effectively preclude 
   plaintiffs from exercising their rights.
