New lawsuit asserts Washington state finfish farming ban infringes on sovereignty of Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe

Both Cooke and the tribe are suing the state for what they say is an unjustified ban on fish farming in state waters.

By taking legal action today, said Ron Allen, CEO and chairman of the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is strongly defending its sovereign right of self-governance and self-reliance.
