In late August, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a decision that may have significant implications for members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, a federally recognized Indian tribe, who reside on the Shinnecock Reservation on Long Island. In Silva v. Farrish, No. 21-0616 (2d Cir. Aug. 25, 2022), the Second Circuit ruled that a lawsuit filed by three members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, alleging that enforcement of state fishing regulations against the plaintiffs in Shinnecock Bay violated their fishing rights, could proceed.
