 Justice Potter Stewart , joined by Justice Hugo Black , dissented . Stewart acknowledged that the Wolf River Treaty unquestionably conferred hunting and fishing rights on the tribe and its members . He stated that the Termination Act subjected the members of the tribe to the same laws that all other citizens of Wisconsin were held to , including hunting and fishing regulations . In Stewart 's opinion , Public Law 280 had no bearing on the case and the rights were not protected by the Termination Act , so they were lost . Stewart did note that this would have also made the claim for compensation valid under Shoshone Tribe v. United States , regardless of whether Congress intended it or not . He would have reversed the decision of the Court of Claims .
