Public and private landholders are challenging Chippewa Indian's plans to take fish and other game in eastern Minnesota, under terms of an 1837 treaty. But miles north of the region under contention, Chippewa Indians have been harvesting fish and wild rice and hunting moose and deer on public lands with little fanfare, and no public protests.

Members of Minnesota's Fond Du Lac Band of Chippewa have been exercising treaty rights since 1992 under a special agreement with the state of Minnesota. MPR’s Bob Kelleher interviews numerous individuals about subject, including Arrowhead Fond du Lac band member Jim Northrup.
